Abstract
The aim of this article is to study embodied experiences and negotiations with everyday weather on a Danish caravan site. I present a contrast to representations of certain types of weather as something you travel away from to seek out the sun. This is done by introducing a sensuous and embodied focus to mundane weather that is also encountered on holiday. Drawing on conceptions of embodiment, the everyday and sensuous, I argue that experiences of weather are relational and multisensuous. This article has three aims. First, to nuance discourses on weather by researching people’s embodied and sensuous negotiations of weather. Second, to broaden understandings of holiday weather beyond that of sunny destinations. And third, proposing the concept of “weathering” to inform the relatively neglected role of everyday weather in tourism research. In this article, my aim is to discuss forms of somatic, sensuous, everyday routines, and movements cultivated and performed with weather.
