Dressing for Temperature Fluctuations<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During the off-season, mornings and evenings can be cold while afternoons are warm. Layering clothes helps regulate body temperature and reduces the risk of catching a chill. Always keep a light jacket or scarf handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3.
