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 - 6 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.
- Avoid exposed ridgelines, small boats and rooftop viewpoints while gusts stay above 31 mph.
- If your dates are flexible, avoid March, April and May - historically the least comfortable months here.
