As mentioned previously when helping to plan weddings I found it useful to take along a list of that years sunset times to help plan lighting etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my experience (obviously this is purely my experience with no scientific facts to back it up) the year generally takes the following pattern:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Jan &amp; Feb \u2013 obviously cold. Allow for maximum heating at all times<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>March \u2013 can be surprising and we often have 1 or 2 very good weeks (this year was a perfect example) so heating and wet weather planning is tricky<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>April \u2013 showery albeit not usually as bad as this year<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>May \u2013 events in early May are pushing their luck a bit, generally the weather is only reliably good by the end of the month (yes I\u2019m aware this could come back to haunt me in 3 weeks time but I\u2019m talking in general terms!)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>June &amp; July \u2013 reliably (as far as British summers allow) good, heating unlikely<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>August \u2013 can get surprisingly chilly later in the evening and we would often have heaters out just to take the chill off any non-dancing area<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>September \u2013 we often get 1 or 2 weeks of really good weather mid-September but by the end the weather has usually dropped<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>October &amp; November \u2013 cold but not reliably so. The last 3 years at The Showmans Show (mid October) have been T-shirt wearing sunshine, then crowded round heaters and last year was rain. You can get anything.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>December \u2013 reliably cold<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Why is this useful? Well if you\u2019re doing a business plan and wondering about buying heaters you might consider getting enough heating for March\/November weather but hiring in the extra heaters you need for winter. Why do it like this? Well this way your heaters could get used 6-8 months of the year but the extra ones needed to supplement these for winter would only be needed for 2-3 months (also the quietest marquee hire months). Hopefully I\u2019ve explained what I mean but if not please let me know. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for reading<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spencer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Working outdoors as a marquee erector you become a little more conscious of the weather than most.
