Be proactive – look at the weather forecast for the weekend and choose your clothing accordingly. If its
forecast to be cold and wet, bring more warm clothing and less summer things. Conversely, if its forecast
to be really hot and sunny, bring more summer things and less warm stuff. But remember, even after a
really hot and sunny day, it may still be very cold in the evenings.
