PLANNING: Weather forecast

For us to have the best opportunity to record our music video in our slotted time, we need the weather to remain consistent and preferably dry. As we are recording most of our video outdoors, we need to weather to remain dry for the benefit of us and the equipment. If it rains while we begin to record, this will cause us unnecessary disruption as we would need to prioritise protecting the camera equipment before we continue to record. As the camera is the most important piece of kit we have (and also the most expensive), we need to ensure the camera stays dry as with the other equipment.

Also, as we are recording most of our scenes in the woodlands, the introduction of rain can make the recording very messy! The rain may cause us to become very muddy and could hamper our recording plans. This is why we will be equipped with an umbrella and maybe even a towel at all times, so we are ready for the worse. As Poppy's house is not too far from the location we are recording in, if worse comes to worse, we can easily go there and wait until the weather improves, clean ourselves up or even record one of our scenes there.

Recording will begin on Thursday 27th November. As the date is still a little too far away to get a reliable prediction of the weather forecast, Nick has found out what the possible weather could be in the image above.


As the days go on, we will consistently check the weather forecasts to update ourselves and plan on possible actions we can take if the weather is not what we hoped it will be.

Here, I have the latest and most reliable weather forecast for next week. As it is still too early to get an accurate prediction of the weather, we can only see up to the day before we are recording what the weather is going to be like. At the moment, it looks like the worst outcome will pass us on Tuesday, which could give way to a few dry days ahead. Wednesday looks promising so hopefully the days following will be just as good.
