Incorrect reference to future simple instead of conditional in text

At the start of the explanation, there is a reference to the future simple which I think should be the conditional.

Why subjunctive for a certain plan

In the question:

They will be very cold when they go to Scotland next December.

It seems to me that this is a quite certain plan, like one of the examples here: ‘ Cuando voy de vacaciones a Tenerife me hospedo en el hotel Olimpia.’

So I thought the answer should be in the indicative:

Tendrán mucho frío cuando irán a Escocia el próximo diciembre.

But the correct answer was in the subjunctive:

Tendrán mucho frío cuando vayan a Escocia el próximo diciembre.

Why is that? Is it a mistake?

Perfect tense querer?

Hola,

Would that work in this case (if we saw ourselves in the current timeframe), and if it did, would it be that you could choose to either follow it with the present or the imperfect subjunctive?

He querido que vinieras conmigo de compras.

He querido que vengas conmigo de compras.

I wanted you to come shopping with me.

Gracias,

Misleading items?

1. You marked my "continúa" as incorrect, telling me to remove the tilde (but you then included the tilde in your final version).

2. You told me to "Use a conjunction other than conque for 'so'", and then you proceeded to use "conque".
