A compact umbrella or a light raincoat will also be reliable companions.

During the summer months (June-August), when average temperatures hover around 19-23°C and highs reach 26°C, you'll need light clothing: t-shirts, shorts, and dresses. Don't forget swimwear for the beach, as well as sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. Evenings can be cool, especially near the water, so a light jacket, sweater, or cardigan will come in handy. Even in summer, rainy days are possible, so a light windbreaker or raincoat is a good idea. Similar recommendations apply to May and September when the weather is also quite warm.

From late autumn to early spring (October-April), the weather in Narragansett becomes significantly cooler. In the winter months (December-February), the average temperature stays around 1-3°C, occasionally dipping below freezing. During this period, warm clothes are essential: sweaters, fleeces, warm trousers, as well as a waterproof and windproof jacket, hat, scarf, and gloves. For the shoulder seasons (October, November, March, April), a mid-season jacket, jumpers, and closed-toe shoes are appropriate. Given the frequent precipitation and cool air, waterproof outerwear and footwear will be especially important for a comfortable stay.
