May I suggest that, while you are making up your mind, you build some experience of judging the weather. Keep checking the METAR/TAF for places like Glasgow and Prestwick airports and then look out of the window and make a note of what it looks like. If you can normally see more than 10Km from your home/office, see if you can pick an easily identifiable structure about 8 to 10 Km away. If you can't see it clearly, you could not go flying.

Bear in mind that you will need the cloud base above 2000', a visibility of 10Km or more and lightish winds to make most use of your earlier lessons. See how many days you get that in your area over the next few weeks.
