I know exactly what you mean! I feel the same way!... However I can count on one hand the totally pelting rain I've walked in on five caminos...maybe I'd feel differently if it was day after day.I don’t know, I hate walking in rain when I am ‘training’...
When I actually walk for real on a Camino, it is different!
ignore the forecasts, go for it!
I'm the same. When I'm at home I'm a very fair weather walker. On the Camino I have actually had fun walking in the rain! However, it was summer, so it was just rainy, not cold and rainy,I don’t know, I hate walking in rain when I am ‘training’...

Safe travel and buen camino, Cat, wet or dry - and wherever you go!lying out of Ohio tomorrow! So excited!
What to do? I'm leaving tomorrow for Madrid (from Ohio), planning to go on to Porto, spend a few days and then walk on to Santiago. I've been keeping tabs on the weather and rain is forecast for the next 10 days. Ugh. I'm prepared to walk in rain but this is ridiculous! Should I stick with my plan or abandon it all and go south?! Somewhere warm and sunny? I'm flying home from Madrid November 26th. Here's the weather forecast: View attachment 66481
My last Camino was 29 days of rain out of 32 walking days. I got used to it eventually
It won't be raining all day, there will be passing showers mostly- some will get you and some won't. It's November, so Autumn weather is what it is. You'll still have a great time, rain gear is obviously going to be put to good use. You can let us know what worked and what didn't ;-)What to do?

I’ve had day after day of rain on one (long) pilgrimage.... My walking mate - from Scotland- said he’d never known such bad rain , everI know exactly what you mean! I feel the same way!...

Hi Priscilla! Wish you were coming with me!
I just finished the Portuguese on Thursday, it rained every day except for the first two. It was intermittent, sometimes light, sometimes hard. It was ok, but I got tired of being soaked everyday. Even with rain gear, I felt very soggy.What to do? I'm leaving tomorrow for Madrid (from Ohio), planning to go on to Porto, spend a few days and then walk on to Santiago.

Prepare for rain. Enjoy it. It's much needed in the region and the natives don't mind the welcomed rainWhat to do?

I use the Dark Sky app on iphonethe weather forecast that includes the percentage POP (probability of precipitation)?
I use the Dark Sky app on iphone
My local weatherman on tv predicts the weather wrong 50% of the time even with live radar. He is very confident, but I wonder why he needed a university degree...any other profession would fire him with those odds.So do I. Where it has access to live weather radar it can be good. Otherwise I’d say it’s not always right, but it is always confident.
Wow - Windy is great! Thanks for posting this. We are in Astorga wanting to keep a close eye on the snow that is coming tomorrow night. This is a big help in terms of seeing snow accumulation. Just what we needed. Windy is now installed on both our phones.It doesn't have POP, but I love Windy.
It has various forecast models that you can run to track rain accumulation, new snow, wind, etc etc.
