Imagine this is your first year window cleaning, you’d be demoralised by the rain, wind and autumnal conditions, in JUNE!!!
Rant over.
Want lots of bbqs, but it’s like November half the time.

Weather has been the dullest from October to May in Devon, since then it's been ideal for window cleaning. February in the past use to be the coldest and driest but for the last 4-5 years it's gradually becoming warmer and wetter. This February was the warmest and wettest almost every day.
Thank goodness I get my pension next year, it's getting more difficult each year to maintain a regular window cleaning routine all year round. It's forecast to getter warmer and wetter in this country thanks to climate change.
Weather affects the mood of our customers as well as ourselves and they tolerate us working in light rain but not heavy rain blowing sideways. As we get older our new customers become younger and their attitude to clean windows is not as high a priority as it use to be in my opinion. From experience I find the biggest loss of customers has been from cleaning windows through persistent spells of rain.
I use to enjoy this job regardless of weather all year round but I can honestly say the joy has gone now and it's more a case of working more efficiently earning more in less time and focusing on other things away from work, the joy is slowing diminishing and I put it down to longing to retire after 26 years too long in this job.

I find I work with the weather all the time now. If I know a day will be constant rain then I will visit the bank, order or collect materials for other jobs and visit first cleans. Handy, having indoor painting as a side line because always fit it in when weather is bad. Try and get van in garage also but the weekly weather forecast is good for only a few days now.

Strange weather.its very warm when sun's out but cold when it goes cloudy and the breeze picks up....
No rain at all today even though it forecast it.....

I just won't tolerate customers who skip cleans because of rain,they get dumped....
It's just not possible to NOT clean in the rain occasionally these days so I don't want them as customers

I have a roof spray on tomorrow so more interested in the wind speed. Might be better starting at 9am before any washing is hung out and its cloudy.
