Predicting the weather

Take a look out the window, and you’ll see it’s raining and dreary — weather that started last night and could continue throughout the weekend. If your wedding is this weekend, did you plan for rain?

It’s tough to predict the weather more than a week out, but if you’re still choosing a date, a couple of tools I found online show you past weather patterns so you can make future plans. The Weather Channel has a whole wedding section on its website, including a “Set the Date” tool that shows you historic weather patterns for location. Accuweather.com also has tools to show you historic weather data. Nothing’s a guarantee, of course, but knowing past weather can help you plan for whatever Mother Nature might throw at you.
