Oh dear, reminds me of Scotland, you can't plan anything with any certainty.
It was sunny yesterday though...... Until evening....

Are you in Bergen, by any chance? It seems to be a law unto itself with regard to the weather. We stayed in a friend`s house thre about twelve tears ago and had over three weeks of wall to wall sunshine. We could see the rain all around us but none in Bergen. On other occasions I have seen roads there suddenly become rivers when sunshine was apparent all round. It is beautiful in all weathers. Now you`ve got me pining for the fjords. Have a slice of Brunost and think of me!

Typical. I'm off to collect a cabriolet tomorrow and the forecast is now indicating a band of rain and showers...

Obviously nothing's perfect, but I'm mostly impressed with how close modern forecasting is .... the longer the lead time the more it's likely to change .... but by the time it gets to tomorrow's weather they're usually pretty right (even when it seems unlikely ... recently we were having a real run of great weather and the forecast suddenly said snow tomorrow ... you'd never have thought the weather could change so much so quickly .... but against all expectations, snow it did!)
Not what you want to hear Graham .... but who knows? .... could be one of their off days and you bask in sunshine with the hood down ...hope so!

I'm in bicycles too... The last two years I'm at home. VERY often I look out: clouds. Lokking at "wetter.de": rain.
Rain - no ride. But hanging around the house no rain this day. But on the other way: I must travel i the Bodensee Area.
The question: by train or the Harley. Wetter.de: only 8-10% rain, only a few mms.
After 60miles: small drops. Bigger drops. Rain. No option for a stop. Running on. Karlsruhe - "Berufsverkehr", no option for a stop. Running on. Fuelstop near Stuttgart. A man ask me: do you want my raingear? Answer: no, it lokks like no clouds in my direction. Some dry miles.
Only a few. Changing the motorway more in the south. More rain.
In the evening in the hotelbar: another college: bad weather, allways using the wipers. The next guy: I'm lucky, travelling by train. Than they look at me: what 's about your journey? My answer: oh, no wipers all the way. I' m travelling with my bike.
Funny, lucky, but wet.
