Sunscreen and a hat are recommended for outdoor activities, beach visits, and sightseeing. If you are traveling between coastal and mountain areas, note that temperatures can drop noticeably at higher elevations, so bring a light layer. No significant disruptions to transport or outdoor events are anticipated based on current forecasts.
