What to pack, what to skip

Pack for the next 7 days
  • 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
Worth avoiding
  • Avoid long hikes after mid-morning; start at dawn or leave it for a cooler day.
  • If your dates are flexible, avoid May, June and July - historically the least comfortable months here.
