Amazon shoppers say 'rainproof' £27 jacket is ideal for 'unpredictable summers'
A downfall of rain is set to be on the horizon, which is why it is handy to have a waterproof layer on hand.
It's not exactly wrong to suggest that our UK summers can often be varied. For the past few weeks, parts of the country have experienced a mini-heatwave, as the Met Office recorded the sunniest spring ever.
However, as is usually the case, this month is set to bring about a deluge of rainfall, which means that it is probably going to be worth having a waterproof layer on hand for any potential downpours.
One that shoppers are bagging for "unpredictable summers" is this Rapbin Rain Jacket for Women that is available to buy on Amazon in multiple colourways for just £26.99.
Crafted from a lightweight and breathable polyester material, this jacket protects against both wind and rain. It also comes with a handy carry pouch, allowing for it to be stored safely and dry in a handbag for any unexpected weather changes.
It is complete with a drawstring hood, drawstring waist, elasticated cuffs, interior pockets, side pockets and a waterproof zipper. With its loose-fitting design, it is ideal for any sort of outdoor activity this summer including running, hiking, climbing and much more.

Top postcard print picks from New Look, Nobody's Child and more
Minimalist fashion fans, look away now, this trend it all about dopamine dressing, playful prints and bold colourways As a fashion writer, I've learned to spot a trend from a mile away, and this summer there's one print that's been dominating my social media, high street window shopping sessions and online scrolls. There's no denying that for SS25, it's all about postcard prints. What is the postcard print? Well, I'm glad you asked. This playful design is characterised vibrant boxes or stamp-shapes adorned with feel-good, summer emblems such as fruit, suns, shells, tiles, florals, palm trees, olives - it's the fashion equivalent of a picky tea of all your warm-weather favourites, packaged in the style of a retro holiday scrapbook. The combination of colour, cheerful prints and a healthy dose of nostalgia make this a real standout trend, and one that's incredibly wearable. That said, it's not a style movement for those who favour minimalism and neutrals, which is worth bearing in mind. However, who's not to say they won't be tempted by some of my top picks. I've picked out four of the best postcard printed pieces available now on the high street, from favourites like Joanie, Nobody's Child and New Look. From dreamy dresses to cool and casual co-ords, here are four picks that prove postcard print is this summer's hero trend. Joanie Ithaca Postcard Print Boilersuit – £79 The postcard print was practically made for Joanie's vintage-inspired designs, and their Ithaca boilersuit is an easy, one-and-done outfit that makes summer styling a breeze. Made from organic cotton with a soft stretch, it's tailored for all day comfort without sacrificing style. Coming in sizes 8-26, the one-piece boasts a classic collar and short sleeves with an all-over watercolour postcard print. But don't be fooled into believing this is only good for warm weather dressing, because I've seen many fashion enthusiasts layer these boilersuits over a long sleeve t-shirt or rollneck for a spring or autumn vibe. You might struggle to style the sunshine-y print in the depths of winter, though. The elasticated waist is a big bonus, making it a flattering fit for all body types, while the pockets make it as practical as it is pretty. Plus shoppers have been raving about it, with one commenting: 'Love this jumpsuit, the watercolour print is beautiful, the material is quality and it fits like a dream.' Another added: 'Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous! The print is beautiful the size I went up a size otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get on and off as I'm big busted and a big girl. It look so gorgeous on and I can't wait to wear it out.' Nobody's Child Starlight Midi Dress – £110 For something a little less kitsch, Nobody's Child offers a more contemporary take on the trend with their bestselling design - the Starlight dress. Available in sizes 6-18, it wins wearers over with romantic puff sleeves, covered buttons and a waist panel that skims in all the right places. The low v-neck is super flattering, and it even has pockets, meaning it ticks all the boxes of a summer statement piece. While Nobody's Child's website doesn't have any reviews, we did find some at Simply Be and John Lewis, with one shopper commenting: 'I'm absolutely obsessed with this dress. It fits perfectly - I usually wear a size 14, but the size 12 is spot on! The material is ridiculously soft and feels amazing against my skin. Plus, the gorgeous fruit stamp design is just the perfect touch. I'm so in love with this purchase! Five stars isn't enough - I'd give it ten stars if I could.' However, another added that the linen-heavy fabric, while ideal for the warm weather, is prone to creasing. They added: 'The dress is so different, in a good way, and the quality is fantastic. My only concern, which is my fault as I didn't read all of the description, is that there's a high content of linen which obviously makes the material very creased. Because there's so much dress, it'll be quite a chore to iron, or I could pay to get it professionally ironed, which would make it the dress that keeps on taking! Apart from that, it is a lovely, unusual dress which I'd definitely recommend.' New Look Cream Postcard Print Midi Dress – £34.99 As beautiful as the Nobody's Child dress is, there's no denying it carries a more premium price tag, as such, I've found a more affordable alternative in this New Look Cream Postcard Print Midi Dress for £34.99. Featuring tie detail at the neckline and flowy sleeves, it's decorated with a gorgeous postcard print. Coming in sizes 6-20, it's an easy piece to throw on and feel instantly pulled together. Its only review so far is five stars, with a happy customer praising its "flattering' fit, 'good length', and 'lovely light material." ASOS DESIGN Postcard Print Shirt and Trouser Co-ord – £24 (top), £26 (trousers) If dresses aren't your style, a co-ord is a super cool way to wear the trend, and ASOS is delivering all the chilled-out, coastal-grandpa vibes with this two-piece set. It comes in four sizes ranging from XS to L and is made from a lightweight linen-look fabric. The trousers offer a wide-leg silhouette and bloat-friendly drawstring waist, while the shirt's revere collar makes for a relaxed but put-together look. It's a really versatile two-piece that looks amazing worn together or split up. Perfect for packing light - or just looking like you did.

Thunderstorms to wash out the weekend as wet June continues
The first thunderstorms of summer are expected this weekend before temperatures return to the high 20s next week. The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for Saturday which covers much of southern England and Wales. People have been told to brace for lightning, heavy rain and gusty winds in what is the first warning of the season so far. The yellow severe weather warning comes into effect at 9am and is in place until 6pm. Forecasters said some areas could experience up to 15mm of rain in less than an hour, while others will see 40mm throughout the day from successive showers. It comes after the country's sunniest spring on record. There were 630 hours of sunshine between March 1 and May 27 in what was also the driest spring in more than a century. Met Office data shows England had 32.8mm of rain last month, almost half the month's usual average. Dan Suri, the Met Office's chief meteorologist said: 'Frequent heavy showers and thunderstorms are expected for much of Saturday, before they fade from the west during the mid-to-late afternoon. 'Frequent lightning, hail, and strong, gusty winds are also possible. 'While brisk winds ensure that most places in the warning area will be hit by showers, not all places will see thunderstorms. 'In this case it's difficult to predict where exactly thunderstorms will hit because they are small and fast changing.' The warning covers parts of central and southern England as well as Wales. Sunday is expected to be a drier day for most, with the chance of some showers most likely in the north and also the east early in the morning. But forecasters said many areas are expected to enjoy clear and sunny spells throughout the day. The Met Office forecasters said hotter air will then sweep in, bringing temperatures to a much more seasonable range. Temperatures are thought to be close to reaching the high 20s, although they will bring a higher risk of more storms.
