If the weather is good, we will go hiking.

we will go hiking - main part.

If the weather is good - conditional part.

In conditional part we are thinking about the future, but we mentally make -1 step back and say (present) “If the weather is good ”.

NOT If the weather will be good !

James Blunt - When I Find Love Again

[Verse 1]
Hey oh, where can I go
When all the roads I take they never lead me home
Hey oh, I miss you so
But I'm used to seeing people come and go

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I've made mistakes
Next time, I swear I'll change

[Chorus]
When I find love again, when I find love again
I'll be much better than the man I used to be
When I find love again, when I find love again
I'll have a better plan for us

[Verse 2]
Hey oh, I'm not ashamed
'Cause everybody has a heart that's meant to break
Hey oh, don't be afraid
'Cause you're only getting stronger from the pain

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I've made mistakes
Next time, I swear I'll change
