Useful Extras

- Portable charger so maps and rideshare do not become a problem

A Better Rhythm for the Heat
If you build the day around the climate instead of fighting it, everything gets easier.
Plan your longest walks and sightseeing earlier in the morning or closer to sunset.
Expect heat and humidity, especially in the middle of the day, and build in water and shade on purpose.
Restaurants, cars, and hotels often feel much cooler than outside, so one light extra layer helps.
Check the forecast again right before you fly, but assume sun, warmth, and strong daylight as your baseline.
