Is it acceptable to keep a flag flying when it's raining? Q: Should the flag be taken inside when the weather is bad? The 220+ year old Flag of the United States of America is quite "hardy for its age". Throughout it's history it has survived many storms...natural and man-made...around the world. You can purchase a flag designed for ALL WEATHER DISPLAY and fly it proudly day and night. If, however, your flag is not manufactured for all weather use, bring it inside when the weather is bad. Just as it is a sign of pride to display the flag, it is a sign of disrespect or neglect to subject the flag to weather that can damage it. (§ 174 c).
