    weather

    Still deciding whether to wear summer gear and bring waterproofs or switch to the full winter outfit and boil south of the Midlands.

    The BBC forecast is not great, raining by Friday.
    The Met office is less bad

    The main thing appears to be temperatures about 15-16 in the day and only down to 11 at night.

    My favourite forecast so far (keep shopping on the internet until you find the weather you want).

    That's it, summer gear it is.

    I have just put my leathers away for this year now got the winter kit out, with the removable lining it will cope with the hot weather but I think we are in for a cold snap. I would take the winter kit and be sure.
    You do not want to be uncomfortable due to being to cold.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    Re: weather

    On the farming forecast on Countryfile last night they were forecasting a high pressure system coming in later in the week, so better weather .

    BUT . . . a good chance of frost at night .

    As a general rule of thumb in Scotland the weather changes every half hour so if you don’t like the weather where you are just get on your bike and drive for half an hour, the weather will change guaranteed.
