I would suggest to use a tool like this: . You may get it, if not available in UK in Germany from Westfalia ww.westfalia.eu. All you need in addition is to rent an air compressor with constant delivery of 170 liters air per minute. The result is closest to sandblasting. Steel brushes have the...

A download of grib files in Zygrib contains a predicition of dew points 7 days in avance - so there is a relation between weather expectations and its individual data such as dew point - as mentioned already a function between temperature and humidity.

From grib data I can see a strong low pressure system moving in saturday/sunday. So, I see a good argument in predicting strong wind up to25 kts without gusts.

You may order a book in Sweden with photos of shorelines indicating the 2 meter line as well as fixed hooks, however very expensive: http://www.vastkustkretsen.se/HAK/Publikationer The easyest hook is a t-sized steel nail with ring close to the top. These will be hammered into crevices...

Of course, any right depends on the terms of contract with Fedex. Usually, a consignee of a shipment (you) becomes a contractual pa rty in the transportation contract when accepting delivery. Thus, you may claim your cost for "repair" from Fedex, as they did not deliver properly.
