What to pack, what to skip
- Layers - the daily swing is 59°F, so mornings feel nothing like afternoons
- A packable rain shell - 5 of the next 7 days carry a real chance of rain
- Avoid exposed ridgelines, small boats and rooftop viewpoints while gusts stay above 34 mph.
- If your dates are flexible, avoid June, July and August - historically the least comfortable months here.
