The best raincoats to wear in this unpredictable weather, from £36
Daily Mail journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more From sunshine and soaring temperatures one day to non-stop rain the next, to say the weather has been unpredictable these last couple of days is an understatement. While the weather apps on our phones are currently suggesting a heatwave for the end of the week, we can't ignore the fact that we live in Britain where, sadly, rain showers are inevitable. On those days the skies open up, umbrellas (although we all know what happens to them when it's too windy) and waterproofs are our only defence, so it's worth investing in a decent raincoat. I know that doesn't sound like the most exciting way to spend your hard earned money – most of us associate waterproofs with a hiking trip to the Lake District – but I promise it doesn't have to be. A good jacket is the foundation of every outfit, so keep that in mind when you're shopping for a raincoat. You won't reach for it (even when it's lashing down) unless it fits your style and goes with the other pieces in your wardrobe, so stick with what you know. Would you describe your style as sporty chic? Check out the longline parkas at H&M, Simply Be and Next. With oversized pockets and hoods, their waterproofs are definitely more casual than a classic trench coat. Alternatively, Sweaty Betty, Arket and & Other Stories have smarter, in-between options, though they do come with a higher price tag. If long coats aren't your thing, and you're looking for a style that hits your hip or upper thigh, then browse the collections at M&S, Barbour and Uniqlo. They've got some sleek styles in muted brown, beige and grey tones. Ahead, you'll find 13 of the best raincoats on the high street to wear in this unpredictable weather… The best raincoats for women H&M Water-Repellent Rain Coat £64.99 Shop Next Waterproof Trench Coat £80 Shop Tu Longline Rain Mac £36 Shop Barbour Showerproof Jacket £139 Shop M&S Stormwear Hooded Rain Jacket £59 Shop Hunter Downpour Andrea PU Rain Coat £85 Shop Simply Be Longline Rubberised Raincoat £68 Shop Sweaty Betty Motion Longline Waterproof Parka & Other Stories Drawstring Raincoat £0.00 Shop New Look Unlined Shower Resistant Rain Coat £39.99 Shop Uniqlo Cotton Blend Short Parka £49.90 Shop Petit Bateau Iconic Raincoat £89.50 Shop Arket Unlined Fishtail Parka To get more of what you love from your favourite Sunday supplement, follow us on Instagram (@youmagazine), TikTok (@you_magazine) and X (@YOUMagSocial).

Bargain hunters are raving about ‘best' £2 Primark buy that's ‘essential' for festivals & it'll be great for Glastonbury

It comes as bargain hunters are raving about an affordable buy from Primark that's perfect for outdoor events. Not only is it cheap, but it'll keep you dry in unexpected downpours, without you needing to carry around a heavy coat or huge umbrella. Impressed with the high-street buy, Georgie Willis took to social media to share her find with others, leaving many totally stunned. Posting online, Georgie gave her followers a close-up look at the new-in £2 buy - a Water Resistant Raincoat.

Thanks to this raincoat, you're sure to stay dry during showers, whenever and wherever you are.

It even has a hook so it can be attached to the outside of your rucksack for easy access.

I've been to 100 countries around the world and these are the ones that are REALLY worth going to (and those you should definitely avoid at all costs)
I am standing in a drizzly square where a man is eating a quiche. A girl cycles past in a red raincoat, talking quietly on her phone. Everything is mild, ordered, and faintly boring. And yet I am feeling a rush of excitement. Why? Because after a lifetime of travel writing, this is the 100th country I have visited. And it is… Luxembourg. That dinky little nation, lost, like loose foreign change, between the sofa cushions of France, Belgium and Germany.

Chic raincoats to keep you dry and stylish, from £50
It doesn't have to cost a fortune though – there are excellent finds on the high street at Muji, H&M and M&S (in the prettiest pale pink and the chain's own water-repellent Stormwear coating). Just beware garments that are style over substance, and lacking the critical element-fighting features. This kind of information can be found in product descriptions online, and garment tags in store. If it's not declared, it's probably not going to provide much protection. It should also have the kind of details that make it a pleasure to wear: 'Aside from the obvious functional points – taped or welded seams and a coated material to ensure waterproofing – small details take a raincoat from OK to your favourite essential,' says Johanne Dindler, head of design at hit Danish outerwear brand Rains. 'Think smartly placed ventilation to keep it breathable all year round, an adjustable drawstring hood, snap closures on the sleeves to seal out moisture, and a timeless and minimalist design that you actually want to wear.' The Rains Lohja bomber (above left) has a fleece lining for added warmth, or choose something roomy enough to layer a down gilet or jacket underneath, making it winter friendly too. After all, showers don't just happen in April.
