Typical weather: NASA Langley Research Center POWER Project, daily data 2006–2025 for the area around each city (about 50 km across, adjusted for the city's height, so hills and coasts can differ) and its noon UV climatology; for FunBound's destinations with a station, highs and lows from NOAA NCEI's 1991–2020 averages. It's what's typical for the dates, not a forecast: check the forecast a few days before you go. Local dress notes: our short summaries of the U.S. State Department's country information.

Questions
Where does the weather come from?
Typical weather for your dates from NASA's POWER project: about 20 years of daily highs, lows, rain, humidity and wind for the area around each city (about 50 km across), adjusted for the city's height, with noon UV. For FunBound's destinations that have a NOAA weather station, the highs and lows are the station's 1991–2020 averages. It's what's typical, not a forecast.
How are the counts worked out?
A top for each day (and a spare in the heat), bottoms for about every third day, underwear and socks for each day plus a spare, for up to 14 days. With laundry on the trip, the counts cover five days and then a wash.
Where do the local dress notes come from?
They're our short summaries of the U.S. State Department's country pages (Local Laws & Special Circumstances), each with a link to the full page. Rules can change, so read the page before you go.
