Due to fly to Spanish island tonight and the weather for at least half of the week looks shocking. Cloud, thunderstorms, wind, rain. I am gutted. We haven't been abroad for years and each week either side of ours looks glorious in terms of weather.

I'm now wondering if I should re pack as we literally just have beach wear, shorts and T-shirts. And wondering what will happen with the pool and beach days id hoped for. Two small dc who will be a nightmare to entertain in a hotel room. Please tell me your bad weather holidays and give me some hope it'll be ok!!!!!

Bad weather does not mean you should be stuck indoors. I went to Spain last year and the weather was cloudy with some storms here and there. We were still outdoors for most of the time.
Also, kids don't mind swimming in a pool when it is cloudy and rainy. I wouldn't deny them that. It is still pretty warm in Spain this time of year even if it rains.
Not to mention that what you see on the app is just a snapshot and, in all likelihood, you'll get 20 min rain a day and intermittent clouds but it will still show up as rain on the app.
