Has this summer's rainy weather affected business?
Choices
Poll Description

The 2025 summer tourism season has gotten off to a rainy start, with rain affecting at least part of each weekend so far.  

For businesses like wedding venues, tour boats or restaurants that depend on outdoor seating, rain can put a damper on attendance and sales. 

Office-based businesses may not be as affected.

And farms, orchards and nurseries may welcome rain — as long as it doesn't come with high winds or all at once.
