Daytime

This is walking weather. Shade is useful, not essential the way it is in the hot months. A long outdoor day is a reasonable plan.

Rain

Pack a shell you will actually carry. The monthly table is the place for totals. This is the feel: usable, interrupted.

Evening

What to pack

  • Rain jacket

  • A layer for cooler evenings
