When it rains, its poor
For street performers, bad weather can be detrimental to their income when they depend on large crowds to earn their living. If a street performer has not prepared for the lulls in the business they could be in trouble if the weather turns south for several days and their hats are smaller than normal. For this reason, many of the most popular pitches for street performers are places with moderate climates.
Additionally, performers who rely on amplifiers and music face additional danger to their electronics in wet weather. They are forced to use natural voice projection to attract people and keep their attention. If you’ve ever cheered for a sports team, you can understand how demanding yelling with your voice for several hours can be. Now think if your paycheck was dependent on your ability to keep that up for 3 hours or more.
