Hi all,

Today has rained quite a lot in Guildford, and to be honest I got soaked because I forgot to take an umbrella with me…so I thought it would be nice to prepare a few tips for you guys. Rain is a part of life in England and being prepared for it is key to staying comfortable and dry. Here are a few tips for getting ready for the rainy season:

1. Invest in a good raincoat or umbrella. A waterproof coat will keep you dry during a light rain, and an umbrella can be a lifesaver when the rain is coming down harder. Make sure your rain gear is made from high-quality materials and is in good condition to ensure that it will keep you dry.

• Pack a pair of waterproof boots. When the streets are wet and slippery, a pair of boots with a good grip can prevent slips and falls. And they will also keep your feet dry during heavy rain. It’s good to have boots that go above your ankle to give you better protection.

• Lay in a stock of rubber boots. England is known for its mud, so having a pair of rubber boots can be a great addition to your rainy weather gear. They will keep your feet dry and clean during wet weather and they can be easily cleaned.

• Have a Plan B. Even with the best gear, sometimes the weather can be just too much to handle. It’s a good idea to have a backup plan for when the rain is too heavy or persistent. This could mean having a couple of indoor activities in mind, or having a set of warm and dry clothes to change into.

• Enjoy the rain! It’s important to remember that rain is not always a bad thing! The rain replenishes the earth, and can create beautiful and unique landscapes. So, why not make the most of it? Bring out a warm blanket, put on a good movie, or enjoy a hot cup of tea, and watch the rain fall.

• You might by lucky and see rainbows! Who knows, you might find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow…
• Stay informed. Weather forecasts are your best friend when it comes to preparing for rain. Try and keep an eye on the weather forecast so you can be prepared for what is ahead. Knowing when to expect rain, and how heavy it will be, will help you plan your day and stay safe.

Rain may be a regular part of life in England, but with the right gear and a little bit of planning, you can stay dry and comfortable all season long. Remember to always stay informed, be prepared, and make the most of the rainy days.

Tip: Not abiding to these guidelines increases your risk of getting soaked by rain!
