What to expect
  • Daytime feel - Pleasant warmth with little swing from morning to evening. Overall it feels close to what you’d expect.
  • Showers & dry spells - Some rain, some shine. You’ll get wet windows, then dry windows. Outdoor plans benefit from flexibility.
  • Sun & UV - Midday sun is intense. Treat midday like 'high-exposure time'. A hat, sunscreen, and shade help a lot. This is a 'don't forget the hat' month.
  • Exposure - Wind plays a role, and gusts can make exposed walks feel cooler and more blustery. On the water or higher ground it feels stronger.
