NEC TSC: Are weather events Employer risk or Contractor risk?

I’ve been reading through the compensation events and the risks at 80 and 81 but i can’t clearly determine whether weather risk belongs to the Contractor or not. I would say that it is as it’s not clearly set out as a compensation event or an Employer risk but is it really that simple?

I’m also thinking that it’s clearly set out in ECC therefore its absence in TSC indicates to me that it’s not a compensation event.

Many thanks

You are correct, weather is not a CE so should be thought of as a Contractor’s risk
