I’ve always been curious about how different weather impacts welding quality, especially when working outdoors… I recently had to weld a structure during a heavy rain in Seattle, and it made me rethink my gear and precautions. Has anyone else dealt with similar conditions, and what tips do you have for managing logistics and ensuring a solid weld?
Welding in the rain feels like trying to grill in a monsoon — definitely not ideal! I’ve found using a good tent or canopy helps, but it can still be a balancing act. Have you tried any specific gear to keep your work dry?
Nothing like trying to make a solid weld in Seattle’s downpour! I’ve used a portable welding tent to keep things dry and it makes a big difference. Just make sure to check your equipment after — moisture and electrical tools don’t mix well.
