Advice for Weekend Plans A flexible approach to your weekend plans is recommended. Scheduling outdoor activities for the morning or early afternoon will provide the best chance to avoid the rain. Bring a waterproof jacket or umbrella to be prepared for sudden showers, and make alternative indoor plans, such as visiting a local museum or enjoying a cosy café, should the rain become persistent.
