Why trust us

How we get the climate right

Edited by Clara Bennett, Lead Editor

Human-edited, every guide

AI tools help draft. Clara Bennett, our lead editor, reviews every packing list and what-to-wear guide before it publishes — no auto-generated advice goes live unchecked.

Re-verified every season

Temperatures, rainfall, and dress codes are re-checked each season; the lastUpdated date on each guide reflects real edits, not a refreshed timestamp.

Built on real monthly weather

Every "what to wear" call is grounded in actual climate data — month-by-month average highs, lows, and rainfall — not vibes or a single trip.

Source-grounded climate data

Temperature and rainfall figures cite national weather services and official climate records — never unverified forums or recycled listicles.
