Home Bargains' 69p poncho ideal for summer downpours

Home Bargains offers the Lakescape Hooded Emergency Poncho, a packable rain layer costing £1.38 for two – working out at 69p each. The lightweight PVC poncho comes with a hood and a one-size-fits-all design suitable for adults and children.

Compact and practical

Described by the retailer as fitting 'neatly into a pocket', the poncho is designed to be carried anywhere – in a handbag, pocket, or car glovebox. It is intended for camping, festivals, or outdoor use during 'unexpected downpours'.

Met Office advice noted that parts of Scotland would see 'blustery showers' on July 30, with cloudy spells and breezier conditions in following days. Showers were expected to dry up by August 2, but could 'break out more widely' by August 3.
