"High wind days" counts the days when the wind exceeded 38 km/h: that's the limit of our inflatable screens. Beyond that, we deflate them — a matter of minutes.

The given time is when the image becomes visible, not sunset: there are still 30 to 45 minutes of daylight after that.

What has already happened in peak season
