The weather has changed for my holiday

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

You can't go out in the rain? Are you soluble?

Me?

So you're going for pics for SM,not for the actual experience and memories. Just cancel and post AI pics of you on the sun

I find it hilarious that it’s apparently so far fetched that someone might actually want to enjoy their holiday, not spend it in the pissing rain!

But it sounds like you aren't bothered about enjoyig your holiday - it's all about getting the right pics and videos for SM - you sound like a 13 year old

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

If you're only going for social media reasons then what's the point?! Perhaps you haven't quite grasped the concept of holidays...

happychops · 23/08/2026 07:36

If you can’t think of and aren’t prepared to look for any positives from going on holiday to the south of France whatever the weather, then don’t go.

Solitudinemfaciuntpacemappellant · 23/08/2026 09:23

It’s not the rain that is ruining your holiday. It’s the social media that’s ruining your life. Are you travelling alone? If not, your attitude is in danger of ruining someone else’s holiday too.

I genuinely do not care. That is not my issue.

You'd care if a wildfire started close to where you were staying! It would be your issue then! Look at the tourists that died in Spain! You are like some stroppy tik tok obsessed teenager! You claim to do travel videos for tik tok but if you were any sort of traveller you would realise that weather forecasts don't mean shit! Take it from me who is a genuinely fairly frequent traveller that you are wasting your time throwing a tantrum over a weather forecast! Weather forecasts change by the hour! And as a traveller I much prefer genuine travel vlogs on YouTube, not some pouty, posing idiot's tik toks! Real travellers don't give a shit about what you are wearing and don't want to look at you posing!

ThestoriesIcouldtellyou · 23/08/2026 09:42

I live in Italy and looked at the weather apps I know are normally predicable and it's giving me glorious weather every day of the week except Thursday (with a bit of rain during the night which will also clean the air). I know weather apps vary but it's highly unlikely you're going to have a week of wall to wall rain. This year up until this week, when we have had some rain, it has been so hot that noone even went to the seaside. It has been unbearable. You are coming at just the right time for sightseeing and should consider yourself extremely lucky and stop catastrophising.

Poppinpoppinpopcorn · 23/08/2026 09:50

And the OP has just realised she carnt change a natural event 🤣🤣🤣🤣

BizzyLizzyandLittleMo · 23/08/2026 10:53

I’d just cancel Op as you’re obviously not going to enjoy it. Stay home and do some nice things instead

PrayForPlagues · 23/08/2026 10:55

youcantmakethisup · 21/08/2026 10:29

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

Are you only going on holiday to get pics for social media? How sad.

You sound like a petulant teenager, talk about glass half empty!! Change your mindset and you might, just, enjoy yourself.

youcantmakethisup · 21/08/2026 10:29

Don’t care about that. There’s not been any where I’m heading anyway

So you don't care about the fact that wildfires are decimating places? The fact there haven't been any where you're going doesn't mean there won't be!
Also, are you really so shallow to be worried that others on social media will say nasty things because you're wearing a jacket on your photos? I've never heard anything so ridiculous!
Put your big girl panties on and get on with your holiday. A few drops of rain won't make you dissolve into a puddle, unfortunately.

Evaka · 23/08/2026 12:01

Folks, this is clearly a troll.

ScartlettSole · 23/08/2026 17:11

Nourishinghandcream · 21/08/2026 10:35

Says it all........
You are not going on holiday to enjoy it, you are going to let your followers think you are having a great time 😄

Weather forecast can be wrong, weather patterns change but heyho, can't risk a dark/damp photo and your followers thinking you aren't having a fantastic time in the sunshine.😖

Exactly this 😂 holidaying solely for the gram is tragic

ChangefortheBetter88 · 23/08/2026 17:36

You’re absolutely vile and pathetic. Literally nobody cares about your holiday pictures on SM, you sound like someone that nobody would want to be around never mind following on SM. You need to get a life and some perspective. I hope it rains non stop.

Grapewrath · 23/08/2026 17:41

Honestly calm down, nobody on socials will give a shit about the pictures. Nobody is remotely interested
Youre not a Kardashian.

Thanks a bunch. I'm definitely not!

🙄You are clearly not being called a troll

Harmonypuss · 23/08/2026 22:38

It immediately followed my post, so I assumed I was being called one 🤔

InveterateWineDrinker · 24/08/2026 10:29

I'd bet good money that OP isn't coming back, but if she does could she please provide us with her SM handles so that we can troll follow her?

Skibbgirl · 24/08/2026 15:30

You are evidently a 'glass half empty' character ... I appreciate that the weather can have impacts on plans but, really, you're going away (which is more than many people have been able to do in recent years) to a completely different environment, with things to do. Make the best of the situation and stop being such a fun-sponge!

Heathertrott2 · 25/08/2026 18:44

And just as everybody said on this thread, AccuWeather now says hot and 1% chance of rain on those days you shared screenshots of, OP. Maybe listen to people next time rather than catastrophising and being an arsehole to people
