Have I got a leg to stand on? Or will I end up much happier if I depart
sans coat?

Temperatures are close to freezing at night here at the moment.

Close? I needed some effort to open the car door this morning as it was iced
closed. I also made the mistake of washing the windscreen before the engine
warmed up and had to stop as it just froze onto the screen.

Not too much wind today, but you never know what is around the corner.

April showers are almosts certain, so waterproof outerwear and plently of
optional layers are ideal.

It's a funny time of year, at the moment it's not so bad during the day. If
the sun it out you can get away with a light coat, I wouldn't like to try
extended periods without a coat at all. However that can change at any time,
but the trend is in the right direction now.

It's not just the UK, I remember last year I was in Nice at the end of
April, one day was so hot only shorts and t-shirt would do, the next and you
needed a coat.
