Weather

Early morning fog will be waiting for us and, once it lifts, a bunch of clouds will take its place, making sure we don't see a lot of sun today.On the other hand, we're only expecting a little bit of rain, mostly up to the early afternoon. A slight wind might gently ruffle your hair, but nothing too bad. The temperature barely changes today: it starts off around 6–8°C, going up to 12–14°C.
