To go ahead with a garden party at the weekend

[lovinglifesometimes]

Or should I just cancel?
I wanted to postpone it but loads of people cant make the new date so not sure what to do, the weather is rubbish!
We have a party tent but DH hates it and says it isnt big enough for what we want. Any ideas please?

I wouldn't cancel this early purely based on weather predictions which are frequently wrong.

Were still waiting for the heavy rain & thunder predicted all last week

Hi @lovinglifesometimes i would still go ahead with the party. Today the weather was supposed to be terrible but omg it's absolutely beautiful outside, just got back from a really lovely walk.
Have a lovely party xx

Far to early, maybe if Friday it shows high winds and 100 percent chance of rain then I might cancel but until then carry on

Thanks for the replies I was starting to panic, hopefully it will be ok. I am mostly worried about electrical equipment for the music. I suppose we could try and get some kind of heaters if its chilly

Does anyone know which is the most reliable weather forecast?

Where are you? ID KEEP CALM AND XARRY ON

Wow. Why am I shouting? Soz

Put the equipment in the tent with sides open?

@Karrpt no worries :)

We are in the midlands

You have been lucky @Kedece2410 . I got so wet in Saturdy's torrential rain that I had to buy new socks (spare shoes were in the car) and a new raincoat.

@RampantIvy we have had that too, thats why I have been worried but it seems to be improving a bit as the week goes on

I find the weather forecast on my computer quite accurate. It gives an hour by hour forecast and the %chance of rain for our actual town. I suppose it's a bit like the ones they use at F1 where the drivers can be warned about rain in the next xmins. Anyway, it seems to be quite good.

It's raining again now.

We had to cancel a party in the park last week due to rain, thankfully someone managed to find a vacant community centre (as you do) on the day.

We'd been "waiting as the weather forecast is usually wrong" and it wasn't!!!

Away this weekend for a 10 day break on the SE coast.... can you guess the weather forecast? 😭

It is only Tuesday. Weather forecasts can change. Many are pessimistic, despite never being presented by someone who most people would never want to date were they single.

@Crunchymum I have tried a couple of village halls but no luck. I like the idea of the tent with the sides up for the equipment but then what about the guests :)

We had a long-planned trip and day out with various family members on Sunday past but cancelled it due to the weather forecasting gale force winds and a warning for thunderstorms.

We ended up sitting in the garden all day getting sunburnt!

Can't you just move the party inside if the weather is bad?

@RoachFish no we have about 30 people coming
