Glimpse of the day into my life: the art of planning on when to head home - the easy edition.

The "very easy edition" is when it's sunny outside. Then you head home whenever you want.

The "easy edition" is today's case when there are rain clouds headed your way from one direction and you still have some time. The screengrab below is the situation at 3:45pm today. I'd say if I head out before 5pm, I should make it home before the downpour. The key is to monitor the situation because sometimes things speed up a bit.



The "kinda tricky edition" is when there are rain clouds with decent breaks in between. You really have to time it so that you can find a half-hour window. Let's be honest thought the chances of not getting soaked are rather limited on most occasions.

The "you're fucked edition" is when the whole screen is just orange and red (it's no longer simple rain but a proper downpour) and there seems to be no end to it... so you might as well head out because you're going to be soaked at the end anyway.

Another time we'll talk about calculating your hanging out with friends so that you can still kind of manage to make it home before it's too dark because you have yet to get a proper lamp for your bike. Stay tuned!
