Why go

Season matters most for outdoor plans. Winter and early spring generally offer the driest conditions for long waterfront and neighborhood walks. In the summer wet season, rain can arrive in heavy bursts, so make flexible plans for exposed beaches, river walks and hillside outings.

Useful to know

For a summer visit, leave room to shift an exposed beach or hillside walk around heavy rain.
Plan longer outdoor walks in the drier winter or early spring when the weather allows.
