What to pack
What to pack2
- Evening temperatures can drop from about 82°F to 50°F after sunset — pack a layer.
- Strong sun is likely this week — SPF 30+ (SPF 50+ if you burn easily) is recommended.
Packing checklist8
- Sunscreen (SPF 30+) — High daytime heat and sun exposure
- Closed-toe walking shoes — Better for cool temps and city miles
- Jeans or warmer pants — Comfortable coverage in cool weather
- Light jacket or cardigan — Evenings and air-conditioned spaces
- Lip balm — Dry air and cold wind crack lips quickly
- Sandals / flip-flops — Easy footwear for heat and water edges
- Shorts / breathable bottoms — Stay cool when highs push into the 80s+
- SPF lip balm — Lips burn easily under strong UV
