By Lauren Dubois, International Business Times
Memorial Day may serve as the official kick-off for summer celebrations, but if the weather doesn't cooperate, plans for endless hours in the sun, possibly soaking up warm rays on the beach, taking a dip in the pool, or attending a fun barbecue may change pretty quickly.
