What to pack, what to skip
- Layers - the daily swing is 66°F, so mornings feel nothing like afternoons
- A warm mid-layer and gloves for early mornings and evenings
- A packable rain shell - 3 of the next 7 days carry a real chance of rain
- High-factor sunscreen and a long-sleeve sun layer for midday
- Avoid unshaded sightseeing between 10am and 4pm - the UV index peaks at 8.
- If your dates are flexible, avoid June, July and August - historically the least comfortable months here.
