How we read the weather

Every day gets a rating worked out hour by hour over the park's opening times, with the same thresholds for every park.

About us and where our data comes from
Perfect day

No rain during opening hours, wind below 29 km/h and a feels-like temperature between 12 and 30°C.

Good day

Two hours of light rain at most and no thunderstorms: the odd break, but the day holds up.

Poor half-day

Rain or thunderstorms mostly in the morning or the afternoon: the other half of the day is good.

Rainy day

Rain for more than half of the opening hours: outdoor rides run on and off.

Frequently asked questions

Which park has the best weather today?

Today the best weather is at Thorpe Park, rated "Perfect day" for its opening hours. The rating updates every 30 minutes with each new forecast.

How often is the forecast updated?

Every 30 minutes. The forecasts come from MET Norway, the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, and are calculated for each park's exact coordinates, not for the nearest town.

Do rides close when it rains?

It depends on the park and the ride. In light rain many rides keep running; in thunderstorms and high winds the tallest outdoor rides stop for safety. Each park's page shows which rides are indoors and what the park rules say.

Do I get a refund if it rains?

Usually not: park rules don't offer refunds for bad weather, and Alton Towers, for example, has no rainy day guarantee. Some tickets on Tiqets come with free cancellation up to the day before, so check the conditions before you buy and choose your day with the forecast in mind.

How reliable is the 10-day forecast?

For today and tomorrow it's accurate hour by hour. From day three to day seven it's a reliable guide to the trend, while the last three days only give a rough idea, so check again on the morning you go.
