A 100% chance means rain is expected over most of the area. Plan indoor alternatives. Around 0,5 in is forecast, which is enough to soak trails and slow traffic.

Southern Hemisphere, so peak summer falls in December to February.
The gap between the warmest and coldest month averages 48°F.
What to pack, what to skip
- A warm mid-layer and gloves for early mornings and evenings
- Insulated outer layer, hat and boots with grip for ice
- A packable rain shell - 3 of the next 7 days carry a real chance of rain
- Avoid exposed ridgelines, small boats and rooftop viewpoints while gusts stay above 56 mph.
- If your dates are flexible, avoid June, July and August - historically the least comfortable months here.
