Packing Tips Based on Season

Spring & Fall

Pack versatile layers that you can easily add or remove as temperatures shift throughout the day. A light jacket or cardigan works well for cooler mornings and evenings.

Go for breathable, lightweight fabrics like cotton or linen to handle the heat and humidity. Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to protect yourself from the sun.

Light rain protection needed

Winter

Choose a warm, insulated coat along with gloves, a scarf, and a hat to stay comfortable in cold winds. Layering thermal tops or sweaters under your outerwear will help keep you warm.
