Raining when we are due to go on holiday

We are going to Pembrokeshire in Wales for a week next Saturday and so far the 10 day forecast is showing rain everyday except Thursday.

Feeling really down about it, I had a beach holiday in mind 😞

You were unreasonable to assume you’d be lying on a beach in hot weather in west Wales sorry.

@PiggieWig
We are staying in a static caravan.

Don’t let a bit of water ruin your trip / mood. Most likely the weather forecast will change or it won’t rain every day. Sometimes the weather apps says rain but it could be an hour in the day or a few sprinkles here and there throughout the day.

Pack appropriately and try not to assume it'll rain every day. I'm sure there are plenty who wish they were off to Pembrokeshire tomorrow, even in the rain! I wish I was going; it's such a beautiful place. I love Solva and St David's - which has lots of shops and amazing ice cream that you can enjoy regardless of the weather. Have a fab time OP!

I grew up in Wales, beach days are still possible in the rain, just jumping in puddles rather than laying in the sun!

We had some really rainy holidays as kids. Where are you staying? Camping’s a bit of a chore but if you have solid walls you’ll still have fun :)

The weather forecast changes all the time x
