Comment	I'd second Charity shops for clothing. Some outlets are ridiculously cheap and sell pretty good stuff. I volunteered there years ago, but the Baranardos at Knightswood Shopping Centre for instance had all clothing for £1. ...There was some pretty expensive clothing on those racks. Yes, layers. An outfit can do you all year around if you just add to it. Your Autumn clothing suits for Winter if you add gloves and a scarf. I'd say that you'd want two types of jacket. A lighter waterproof one for whenever it rains heavy enough, and another heavier one for if it snows. As others have said, the climate's fairly middling here. There's extremes, but most of the time it isn't ridiculously "stay in your house or die" bad. Even then just look at what the weather's going to be like a week ahead of time and stock up on the necessities instead of rushing to raid the nearest super market. The weather can be erratic at times. [The BBC](https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2648579) and [Met Office](https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcuvz3bch#?date=2019-05-20) have 24/7 weather reports. Just check one of them at some point in the day to see what's happening tomorrow. To be honest the rain isn't too dire in Glasgow to cause a major impact most of the time. There's hardly any flooding. Its the wind and occasional snow which can bring things to a standstill.
