Page 15 | The weather has changed for my holiday

youcantmakethisup · 2026-08-21T09:18:49+00:00

Due to holiday in the south of France next week, and all along the long range forecast has been beautiful. Now it’s changed. Rain every fucking day apart from the day I leave. I have to unpack all the beautiful dresses and clothes I’ve packed and change them out for rain jackets and boots. I’m fuming, I actually can’t believe it. It’s just my luck! AIBU to just not want to go? I was due to do so many lovely day trips and now they’ll just be awful - damp and grey, any pictures I take will look awful. I just can’t believe it

Why would you think a max of 2.5 hours in a day is pissing rain? Have you even looked at the forecast you’ve posted. A little rain is not pissing rain. You’re like a toddler throwing a tantrum over a tiny bit of rain- pathetic. Just because you want nice Instagram photos and there might be a cloud you’re having a strop. I’d understand if there were danger to life wild fires or storms but one hour on rain in 24 hours is not something to whine about. Embarrassing for you.

I find it hard to believe that a functioning adult can behave like such a toddler over the weather.

I once went to Venice for the weekend and it lashed it down the entire time we were there. I only had flip flops for shoes with me. Guess what? I bought some proper shoes and a brolly and got on with it! Had a great time.

I think you need to grow up OP!

ChiasMarineras · 21/08/2026 10:49

I’m not far from the place you are talking about - exact same climate. The forecast kept saying it will rain all of this (current) weekend.

It rained 4-8pm yesterday. It is not raining at all today or tomorrow. It will rain for a couple of hours on Sunday morning.

After each bout of rain the sun comes out stronger and brighter than before. There is not a cloud in the sky today, yet the forecast said 50-60% rain (exactly like yours).

Trust those of us who know how the Mediterranean climate works.

Just adjust your itinerary OP.
Weather forecast is just that, a forecast!
Take an umbrella/ raincoat etc and you will be fine.

In all honesty, you are sounding a bit like a petulant child right now!

I feel petulant. I’ve planned this for a year, forked out thousands, got a brand new summer wardrobe, just for it to end up being British weather.

Oh yeah, that’ll look nice on social media!

It'll look extremely relatable, funny and very British. I bet you anything that with the right kind of humorous and self-aware caption it'll get way, way more engagement than the kind of shot you were planning.

Starting to think this is a pisstake post, nobody is this much of a child surely.

If it is real- I feel for you OP. I personally can have fun anywhere because I'm fun, I imagine it's hard when you're an immature joy sucker. Enjoy your holiday.

ChickenBananaBanana · 21/08/2026 10:47

Your screenshots literally say a little rain not a monsoon. And max duration of less than 3 hours.

notimagain · 21/08/2026 10:47

From the POV of someone who is French resident and has been praying for rain for weeks IMO MeteoFrance (and some other outlets) aren't doing a great job ATM...

It"s almost been a case of the people want rain so they've decided they'd better chuck some in the forecast (before anyone grumbles I know forecasting is difficult).

I wouldn't bin a holiday on the basis of the forecasts, I would come prepared for showers.

Your forecast doesn't even say pissing rain. Every other forecast seems to say the weather will be nice but with the occasional threat of rain. You seem determined to have a negative outlook on it. If you are so sure you won't have a good time, perhaps you should just cancel (and then look silly when your travelling companions are sharing pictures of themselves in the sunshine).

It's hot temps, will feel hot and humid, the sea will be warm, and sunny, with less than 1-2 hours overall of rain across a long summery day?
And you think it'll be pissing it down all day and you won't be able to sit and eat from a patisserie.

Are you thick or just can't read?
You'll have a great time.

Yeah lovely. Humid and pissing rain! Aka frizzy hair and no chance of getting a tan

Struggling to take this one seriously to be honest.

ezzemma · 21/08/2026 10:46

You sound so miserable so yes you more then likely will have a terrible time .

Easilyforgotten · 21/08/2026 10:46

We had a 70 something percent chance of rain yesterday. It hammered down for all of about 5 minutes, 10 or so minutes after that you would never know it had rained.........

Doriangraysattic · 21/08/2026 10:45

We're away this week in the uk -our first and only doable holiday this year due to a shitty awful year of medical nonsense- and its been rubbish compared to the last few weeks. We've made the best of it and have actually had a good few days but it does seem a bit - arghhhh !!

You're behaving like a toddler

You seem more interested in social media posts than having a nice time on holiday.

How am I going to have a nice time stuck in the Airbnb in the pissing rain?

True....... like all the rain we have had all summer.

Still, sitting in the sun on a sunny quayside in England doesn't compare (on SM at least) with being in Monaco...........😆

Show quote history

I’m not going to be sitting on the quayside when it’s pissing rain!

Everyday is pissing rain. The only day that there’s a chance of it being sunny is the day I’m booked into a beach club, which will be ruined by it raining!

jobsagooduninnit · 21/08/2026 10:43

OP I have a VERY accurate weather app and every location in the south France from Nice to Archachon says 8 hours of sunshine a day. It has weather in 3 hour blocks and if there is a chance if rain is it low, only for a short period and a tiny amount <0.1mm. You’ll be fine.

DollopOfFun · 21/08/2026 10:42

That is unfortunate after all the hot sunny weather recently. Bummed out this time

Hayley1256 · 21/08/2026 10:42

I find AccuWeather the most unreliable forecast especially for abroad. The met office is the one I trust the most and that's not showing hardly any rain for Nice next week
