Therefore, a light raincoat or umbrella remains relevant. Don't forget sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat for sun protection. The principle of layering remains useful even in the warm season, as day and evening temperatures can vary, and a light sweater or cardigan will come in handy on a cool evening.
