European tour weather

I was just looking through the forecasts and it seems like the temperature for all the cities across the tour hover around 17-29. Is this basically what I'll be looking at?

I figure if this is going to be the case, I'll just leave my thick jumper here at home. For the space that jumper takes up, I can jam in 4 tshirts, and I'll definitely be going on a shopping spree when I get to the merch stand at Munich. If it gets cold at night, there's always the option of wrapping my sleeping bag around me.

Any advice? At the lower range, 17 is pretty much t-shirt + brown light hoodie from the last tour. Doesn't seem like this calls for the thick hoodie.

    i think you'll be ok with what your packing.. 17 is warmish and 29 is hot.

    29 degrees and all i wear is Chanel no.69
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    As long as you've got a waterproof jacket as well ... showers forecast for Poland gig ... should be fine
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    Was watching the touring van dvd for Europe and there's this shot of a bunch of you guys all wearing raincoats, all different colours.

    I'll pick one up when I get to Munich- this is Australia here, rain is unheard of :)

    17 is a light hoodie for you? :eek:
    Im definitely bringing at least 2 hoodies, one of which is thicker.
    a dozen (ok, maybe less) t-shirts, waterproof jacket (yes, it might rain),
    chucks for my feet and sandals. A pair or two jeans and some lighter
    and shorter pants.

    Apparently the weather is gonna be hot, but this past weekend
    the weather here changed 5 times in a day :eek: so I wouldnt be surprised if
    we get that throughout Europe. Be prepared for anything, from cold days and nights/mornings to really really hot ones.

    And I hear ya' on that shopping spree on PJ merch stand. You can
    always get extra tee's and hoodies there ;)

    PS yes, Verona was that show and that was bad :(

    Cheers mates. Yeah, I think it might be Verona, with all of you guys sitting down with all that yummy-looking pizza. How I wish I was there :(

    Oi Sid, now that I've added you on MSN, you're never online?

    I know it's gonna get smelly after every gig, so I'll have a few old tees I can just chuck away if there's no room. Besides, I'm bringing along my 10c green and gold sports bag if I do end up needing that extra room.
