What to expect
  • Temperature feel - Warm days that stay fairly consistent through the day. The “feels like” is usually in line with the air temperature.
  • Rain pattern - A mix of dry and wet days. Showers tend to come in pulses rather than lingering. A rain layer is a smart default.
  • Sun exposure - Sun protection matters. Cloud cover doesn't always mean low UV, so still protect your skin. It's the kind of sun you notice immediately.
  • Breezes - Refreshing breezes, and gusts can make exposed walks feel cooler and more blustery. It’s the kind of wind you plan around for viewpoints and coastal walks.
