You're asking someone to predict the British weather 2 months in advance?? Why don't you ask for the winning lottery numbers for that time, too?!!!!

It shouldn't be too cold but you'll still need a decent coat, either waterproof or carry a cagoule.
Motels are generally cheaper at weekends when the business-types who use them are all at home.
Depending on where I'm living, I may have a couch/airbed/bed you can crash on. It'll be in Manchester but as I've not yet found a place, I don't know the setup. I need to be in by the beginning of September so I will have somewhere.
