まだですね。来週末ぐらいだと思いますよ。 mada desu ne. raishūmatsu gurai da to omoimasu yo. Not yet. Around next weekend, I'd say.

Why this phrase

Kofuku plays a traveller at a hotel front desk or tourist information counter; Hana plays the staff member with the local forecast. The word every Japanese forecast, poster and desk clerk uses is the one for peak viewing time, and it moves year to year, so the only reliable way to get it is to ask a human where you are. Timely right now: October and November itineraries are being locked in this month.
