The British weather is just brilliant at being unpredictable. You know the drill: one minute sunshine, the next rain, swiftly followed by a huge sense of regret for wearing suede shoes.
Well this latest Kickstarter project could be the answer to your soaked-feet prayers.
Behold the oombrella.
This smart umbrella contains a device in the hook that uses real-time data on temperature, pressure, light and humidity (so YES to no more bad hair days).
It uses that weather data to alert you to when rain is expected, which comes through an app as a notification on your smartphone to remind you to pick up your brolly.
Another handy feature of the smartphone connectivity is that you’ll get a notification if you’ve left it behind in a shop or something. How many of us have done that a million times before?
Oh and one more thing – it looks pretty and colourful and nice. Very important.
