Unusually severe weather definition

Unusually severe weather means weather conditions that are abnormal for the period of time for which Force Majeure is claimed, that could not reasonably have been anticipated or avoided, and that had an adverse effect on the Progress Schedule. Neither the Contract Time nor the Contract Sum will be adjusted for normal inclement weather or if the Work was behind schedule (unless behind schedule for a reason not the responsibility of the Contractor) at the time the unusually severe weather occurred. The Contractor shall be entitled to a change in the Contract Time only (but not a change in the Contract Sum) if the Contractor can substantiate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Owner that there was unusually severe weather as compared to normal using a ten (10) year average of accumulated record mean values from climatological data compiled by the U.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for the locale closest to the Project, and that the abnormal inclement weather actually impacted and extended the critical path of the Work. Unusual is defined as a 10-year weather event of either or both precipitation or temperature extremes that fall outside the upper and lower ranges within a 10- year periodicity
