A 76% chance means rain is expected over most of the area. Plan indoor alternatives.
Gusts to 34 mph will push high-sided vehicles on exposed roads and bridges. Wet roads are likely; braking distances roughly double in heavy rain.
Within 15 degrees of the equator, day length barely changes all year; seasons are defined by rain, not temperature.
Northern Hemisphere, so peak summer falls in June to August.
The gap between the warmest and coldest month averages 37°F - an unusually even climate through the year.
What to pack, what to skip
- Lightweight, light-coloured clothing and a refillable water bottle
- Sunglasses, a brimmed hat and SPF 30+
- A packable rain shell - 7 of the next 7 days carry a real chance of rain
- Insect repellent and quick-dry fabrics for humidity
- Avoid exposed ridgelines, small boats and rooftop viewpoints while gusts stay above 34 mph.
- If your dates are flexible, avoid May, June and September - historically the least comfortable months here.
