The awning holds up very well in almost every condition. Wind would be the exception. When the wind is blowing excessively it's a good idea to roll it up or take it off the stakes. The tent can hold up to some crazy wind, but the awning might simply come off of the tent pole spikes-nothing to be too concerned about. In other words, it would be very difficult for damage to occur due to wind, but it could take the awning off of its poles to flap around. It holds up very well to rain. Just make sure that you place it such that the water can run off one side and not create a massive puddle to pool in the center of the awning as it will weigh down the tent until it spills over.
