Weather can make or break an outdoor show and affects load-in logistics even at indoor venues. Roadcase provides weather forecasts for your upcoming events so you can plan ahead and prepare your team for what to expect on the ground.

​
How weather works

Roadcase automatically fetches weather forecast data for events that have a venue with a known location. When you open a show or event that is coming up in the near future, you will see the weather forecast for that date and location — including temperature, conditions, and precipitation chances. Weather data is based on the venue’s geocoded location, so it is specific to where your event is actually happening rather than a general city-level forecast.

​
Where weather appears

Weather information is displayed on the event detail page for upcoming events. This gives you a quick reference when reviewing your schedule and preparing for a show day.
Weather forecasts are only available for events in the near future. Long-range forecasts beyond approximately two weeks are not shown because they are not reliable enough to be useful for planning.

​
Planning around weather

Weather forecasts are especially valuable for:
  • Outdoor shows and festivals — Know if rain is expected so you can prepare covers, tarps, and contingency plans
  • Load-in and load-out — Rain or snow can complicate gear movement, especially at venues without covered loading docks
  • Merchandise planning — Weather affects what merch sells (nobody buys t-shirts in a downpour, but hoodies fly off the table)
  • Travel days — Check weather along your route when planning long drives, especially in winter
Check the weather forecast a few days before each show as part of your advance preparation. Passing along weather details to your crew helps everyone pack and plan appropriately.
