Abstract

This paper focuses attention on the weather sensitivity of the food and drinks sector within the UK retail and distribution industry. The potential benefits to accrue from the application of meteorological knowledge are evaluated in light of current advances in retail information systems and management. Subsequently, the viability of using weather forecasts in operational decision-making is discussed from both the meteorological and industrial standpoints.
