What to pack, what to skip
- Lightweight, light-coloured clothing and a refillable water bottle

- A packable rain shell - 7 of the next 7 days carry a real chance of rain
- High-factor sunscreen and a long-sleeve sun layer for midday
- Insect repellent and quick-dry fabrics for humidity
- Avoid unshaded sightseeing between 10am and 4pm - the UV index peaks at 8.
- If your dates are flexible, avoid May, June and October - historically the least comfortable months here.
