Ever since pubs and restaurants reopened their doors almost one month ago, it has provided a massive relief and allowed friends and family to see each other again.
In Hampshire, actually going to a restaurant or pub stopped in December after the region was put into tier 4 restrictions, before the national lockdown.
But with measures easing, hospitality is set to resume indoors from May 17.
Until then, we still need to stay outside when visiting the pub, meaning the weather forecast is pivotal.
Here is the Met Office forecast across Basingstoke this weekend.
Saturday
If you are planning on going out anywhere today, make sure it is this afternoon.
A band of rain that swept in from the Atlantic last night will continue to move across our region until lunchtime. It'll see heavy rain and dark clouds until it clears, with a chance the sun might come out this evening.
Top temperatures are 15 degrees, but it will feel like 11 degrees at best.
Sunrise is at 5.25am, and it will set at 8.37pm.

Sunday
Sunday is set to be the better of the two days this weekend, but don't expect it to feel like summer just yet.
It is set to be overcast with light showers in the evening.
It will be a tad warmer than Saturday, but there's still a bit of a wind chill and the cloud cover will mean it doesn't feel particularly warm.
Top temperature is set to be 16 degrees, and feel like 12 at best.
Sunrise is at 5.23am, with sunset at 8.39pm.
7am: overcast, 12C
10am: light cloud, 14C
1pm: light cloud, 16C
4pm: light cloud, 16C
7pm: light cloud, 14C
10pm: light showers, 11C
Next week
Going into next week, it's set to be typical spring-like sunshine and showers on Monday and Tuesday, whilst Wednesday is set to be a little bit more miserable.
Top temperatures for the first part of the week probably won't go above 14 degrees.
