Definitely get a cheap tarpaulin to put under your tent, don't worry about cutting it to size, just tuck the excess under making sure it's just short of the tent walls.

Wear flip flops or wellies (not trainers as they take ages to dry), shorts & pak-a-mac with hood if it's raining when you pitch, so you haven't got loads of wet clothes to dry in the tent.

Be sure to pack the tent last in the car, so you don't have to get everything else out & get it wet. If it is actually raining when you pitch the tent, back the car up to the door of the tent so your equipment doesn't get wet.

Remember not to walk into the bedroom pod with your wet flip flops on!

Then open a bottle of wine, or put the kettle on for a brew  

Hi grunty, try not to take much notice of the weather, we went last week to the IOW and they said sunshine and showers all week, we had two mornings of scattered showers all week, the rest was beautiful sunshine, tempertures of around 27 degrees, got lovely tan and burnt nose! (twice!!!!)  Just  try and enjoy whatever the weather.
