Weather Watching: Preparing for Bad Weather While Traveling

Research
This may sound like a no-brainer, but you’d be surprised how many people touch down in a new country with absolutely no concept of the local temperature and precipitation patterns. Don’t believe us? There are people who’ve booked golfing trips in the height of South Carolina’s hurricane season.
