Tips for traveling to Pakistan in August
Looking for some tips for traveling to the sun, snow, or whatever you're aiming for Pakistan? Activities, weather, and clothing are closely linked. In addition, it's important to pack only what you really need so you don't have to worry about heavy packing or paying extra baggage fees.
Here is some advice on what to pack and what kind of activities you can do in the Pakistan based on the weather that August is expected to bring. The advice applies to the country as a whole – local weather and possible activities may differ somewhat.
Pack right for August
- Sunshine does give you a nice color and a boost of vitamin D. However, if you don't have a lot of skin pigment, you should sunbathe carefully to avoid burning yourself, getting sun rash and, in the worst case scenario, skin cancer. This is where sunscreens and opaque clothing work particularly well. Another safe way is to stay in the shade when the sun burns the most, roughly between 9 am and 3 pm.
- Warm - neither hot nor cool, are probably the most comfortable when you think of sunbathing. Shorts, shorter skirts or dresses, tank tops and t-shirts are the basics here. If you're going to a seaside resort, don't forget your swimwear and maybe even a snorkel, mask and flippers.
- Light winds are probably most comfortable in hot weather but is cooling in cool and cold weather. If it is hot (when the air temperature is about 30 degrees), the wind can have a warming effect. A thin, windproof jacket and long trousers help to counteract these effects.
- Low humidity makes it easier to regulate the temperature closest to your body with the clothes you are wearing. You also won't sweat as much as with higher levels of humidity. However, very low humidity can lead to drier mucous membranes and irritated eyes - you might want to pack something for that.
