Worst vacation/day out you have had because of the weather?

I remember one in Wales rain for half the week

Most of the time, extreme weather makes it more memorable. Except for stupid hot & humid out....

I distinctly remember the day that it downpoured as soon as our train left the station on Hagrids. Couldn't see or hear much, with eyes squeezed tight against the rain at 50mph. Got to the dry respite of the cave, poised to go back out - Hagrid says "hit the purple button," and from the sidecar I said "Noooo!".... but friend hit the button and we launched back into the rain. We exited soaked right as the rain let up. Friend went to buy a dry shirt, I just hopped on the log flume because I couldn't get any wetter. Much more of an experience than the normal dry version, and am glad we "got" to do that. Although if that ride was your first time, it would have sucked.

We rented a large condo in the Cayman Islands and my boyfriend, his buddy, my sister, my best friend and her husband all came for a great week together. We had so many outdoor plans!

It poured rain all day every day.

We had maybe one day without rain, or barely an afternoon. It was awful and everyone started leaving early.
Huge waste of money and vacation days.

I was in Florida in my hotel room worrying about whether a hurricane would damage my rental car. But previous that day I was stocking up on supplies just in case. Lots of junk food, breakfast cereals, and other stuff that wouldn't need refrigeration if the refrigerator in my hotel room (an efficiency suite) had no power. I filled the bathtub with water, which was recommended by news sources. It turned out to be kind of a dud, but I remember warnings about possible tornadoes in my area from the pressure differences from the storm.

Later in that trip was after the storm, but the rain was often heavy. I was taking photos and my camera died from being waterlogged. It did dry out and start working again in a day.

I've been in some pretty torrential rain before. Once it was in Hawaii at the Polynesian Cultural Center. We we on a boat and just ducked under a bridge until the rail let up.
