Tip: Plan Around, Not Despite, the Weather

• Arrive early for the beach — mornings will be crisp and calm.

• Dress in layers — mornings and evenings may feel cooler.

• For outdoor events (like the bonfire), check last-minute weather updates just in case.

• At Oktoberfest, having a stainless steel mug can save you from waiting in drink lines.
