The rise makes adjustable clothing useful as daytime conditions become warmer over the period. The provincial low of 7.5°C still supports keeping an extra layer available for the cooler hours. Carry an umbrella in the rainy cities, and use removable layers rather than choosing clothing only for the warmest afternoon conditions.
