What to expect
  • Temperature feel - Summer-like warmth and a sharp cool-down once daylight fades. It can feel cooler than the thermometer suggests.
  • Showers & dry spells - Regular showers. Showers tend to come in pulses rather than lingering. A rain layer is a smart default.
  • Sun & UV - Very high UV is common. You can burn surprisingly quickly, so sun protection is strongly recommended. Shade breaks feel genuinely worthwhile.
  • Exposure - Often breezy, and expect sharp gusts that can change plans in exposed areas. On the water or higher ground it feels stronger.
