Weather & Shopping Tips: Current Deals for Rain & Cold

The weather has suddenly changed and you urgently need a new jacket or weatherproof shoes? No problem. The search for the right clothing can be perfectly combined with the current weather situation and local shopping options. Our app helps you with this through the "Shopping Tips" feature.

Which Jacket for Which Weather?

Before you head out, consider what type of jacket you need. The weather forecast is your best guide:

• For rain and mild temperatures (10-18°C / 50-64°F): A light, waterproof rain jacket or a classic trench coat is ideal. Look for sealed seams.
• For wind and cool temperatures (5-15°C / 41-59°F): A softshell jacket is perfect. It's windproof, breathable, and withstands light showers.
• For cold and dry conditions (below 5°C / 41°F): A down jacket or a well-insulated puffer jacket will keep you warm. They are lightweight and pack down small.
• For cold and wet conditions (around 0°C / 32°F with snow or sleet): Here you need an all-rounder. A lined parka or a 3-in-1 jacket is the best choice.

How to Find Stores Near Me?

You don't have to search for long. Simply use your smartphone's search function:

1. Open your maps app (e.g., Google Maps, Apple Maps).
2. Type "clothing store," "sports store," or "department store" into the search bar.
3. The app will show you the nearest stores, including opening hours and reviews.

Large department stores (like Galeria) or fashion chains (like C&A, H&M, Zara) offer a wide selection for any weather. For specialized functional jackets, sports stores (like Decathlon, Intersport, SportScheck) are the best place to go.
