Title: Weather for Memorial Day weekend 2023
Post by: 4Campers on May 25, 2023, 08:20 AM
This has got to be one for the record books. There is NO forecast of rain for the holiday weekend!

We never camp anymore on holiday weekends because either it storms, or we get kept awake until 3 am. When the kids were little we did, but camping was way different 25 years ago.

Regardless of the weather, we don't go camping on holiday weekends.  Too crowded and the traffic is usually terrible.  Not worth it.

Might not be any rain, but it's gonna be cool. It was 50° here this morning, and pretty windy.
Hope all the campers that brave holiday weekends are enjoying.

Warmed up into the 80's today, and it has been quite cold up until now! And it's supposed to be even warmer (by a couple of degree's) tomorrow.

Since I live & work here at the campground, I don't have to worry about travel, traffic, or reservations. However, it's extremely popular time for a visit, and this place turns into a mad-house. And being on duty Maintenance today, I had my hands full chasing down one problem after another. Good thing I get Sundays & Mondays off!!!

Dang that is warm up where you are!
It was mid-70's by us during the day, but it got so cool and breezy by dark sitting on the porch was a no go.

I think all CGs are a mad house during holiday weekends. The reason we stay away.

No thanks!  Too early in the year for 90 deg.  Send it back!  Tell Amazon the weather product did not meet your expectations.   :))

I've spent enough Memorial Day weekends in the rain.... I'm not camping this weekend, but it is beautiful.  Sunny and high 70s with a tiny bit of breeze.  Perfect mornings for yard work (if there is such a thing...), got my canopy up on the patio yesterday and today's plan is sitting in the shade and .... sitting.

Weather rollercoaster season! Heat at night, A/C by afternoon, heat on at night. LOL
Up to 87° yesterday, forecast to hit 90° today. No wind at all.
Two days ago it barely hit 70° and the stiff breeze was cool.
