Weather

It looks like we'll be seeing rain in London at least some of the time, if not most of the time - and that's where we spend the most time on foot, so be ready. The forecast is actually looking a little better - check out this 7-day for London. I found a 15-day forecast for Scotland and it looks like the weather will be DRY by the time we get there. It will be cool in Scotland, probably not getting above 60 or below 40...

Please call us if you have questions. My cellphone is 387-3868, Ms. J's is 387-3867. TIME TO START PACKING!

Rain - Batteries - Flying Attire

Rain is forecast for London on Sunday, and Monday at least. Be sure to have a raincoat and/or small umbrella - you will need them. We'll have two modes of transportation in London: our feet and the Underground. Obviously we'll be dry while "underground", but on foot we may get a little soggy. Temperatures are expect to be low-50's to upper 60's.

Be sure to charge up your iPods and MP3 players - the flight from Chicago to London is a long one. My advice would be to save your batteries on the first leg so you'll have a full charge for the long second flight. Earphones that fit further into your ear will work better on the plane - shut out more noise.

Also, remember it can be pretty cool on the plane. If you're cold-natured you may want to carry on a jacket and wear pants instead of shorts for the flight.

LONDON 10-day weather forecast


10-day weather forecast for London here.

Last time East London, this time West End



It looks like we'll be staying in the West End (a pretty nice neighborhood) while in London - near Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. Our nearest tube station will be Queensway.

Get ready for the weather

London 10-day forecast

Edinburgh (Scotland) 10-day forecast - Remember that Scotland is on the back end of our trip so you won't get an accurate forecast until just before we leave. Also, at the very end we will be even farther north which means it will be even cooler.

Don't forget to use the Fahrenheit/Celsius converter which can be found on the weather pages.
