Make a weather-affected meeting easier by planning a little flexibility around coats, slower walking, and changing transport information. Gather the meeting time, current route information, and a way to contact companions.
Set it up
Check the expected route before leaving and allow a realistic extra margin for the specific delays likely on that journey.
Put the idea to work
Tell companions your expected arrival and agree on an indoor or covered permitted waiting place if the destination allows one.
Finish and keep it useful
Send an update if the actual journey changes rather than trying to recover the entire delay by rushing. Avoid treating an earlier departure as a substitute for checking whether the destination is open and ready to admit you.
