Wales - sunshine capital of Europe
A quick look at the forecasts for this weekend's women's Six Nations reveals that - if you want a dry, warm day watching the rugby, then forget Italy or the south of France - head instead for south Wales!
Ireland are out in the Pyrenees today, playing France in the rugby hotspot that is Pau. Except its not that hot today - minus 5 in fact - which has resulted in the kick-off being brought forward as it is due to get much colder this evening.
Meanwhile in Italy its even colder - temperatures of minus 8 are forecast for Milan, where England are due to face Italy tomorrow.
This leaves the south Wales village of Crosskeys as European rugby's sunshine capital as Wales and Scotland risk sunstroke with the thermometers hitting a blistering +5 at kick-off tomorrow, and a zero risk of rain. So pack the suntan oil!
