April: what clothing will I need?

Hi all





I%26#39;ll be arriving on March 30, so really my entire trip will be over April, and I%26#39;m wondering if I need to pack any heavy duty cold weather clothes?





I intend to buy a lot of clothing there, but I%26#39;m wondering if I%26#39;ll need to pack gloves, scarves, etc? Would a warm jacket be enough?





Thankyou!

April: what clothing will I need?


Yeah I%26#39;ve looked at the weather sites and I know what the average temps are, but over here when it%26#39;s cold it%26#39;s not necessary to wear gloves or hats. I was hoping to get advice from locals or those who%26#39;ve been at the same time as to whether it would be advisable to brings hats, gloves, scarfs, warm jackets, etc.




Tail end of March/Early April you%26#39;ll want a light to medium jacket and long pants. The wind can be bitter if you plan to be outdoors or doing any walking. Gloves and hat, you could go either way on, depending on the day %26amp; what weather you%26#39;re used to. They probably are not necessary in most cases.




Great, thankyou.




As a fellow Aussie who is used to our warm climate take every bit of cold weather gear you have!!! I was there last year 2 days before summer and I nearly froze and no shops had any warm clothes for sale because it was going into summer. I ended up having to wear 3 of my ex-boyfriends sweaters layered over each other in the middle of the day and my fingers were numb. It was way colder than it gets here even in the depths of our winter.




OK I%26#39;m not trying to be smart here at all, but given the craziness of temps in the past 4 days (70F this weekend, 30F today) I%26#39;d just check on it the week before and plan then.





Plan to bring basics, layers, all that stuff but no use worrying about it now-guaranteed that the forecast will change 30 times from now til you get here.
