Someone's visiting a place where the weather changes constantly. How should they pack and dress?

A natural way to answer

I'd advise them to dress in layers so they can adjust through the day. It's wise to pack light but always carry a compact raincoat. That way, if the weather suddenly turns nasty, they're good to go.

Key phrases to use

• layer up — wear several thin items of clothing on top of each other for warmth and flexibility“Layer up so you can adjust as the day warms.”
• pack light — take only a small amount of luggage when you travel“We always try to pack light for short trips.”
• turns nasty — (of weather) suddenly becomes bad, harsh or dangerous“The moment you forget a coat, the weather turns nasty.”
• turn nasty — (of weather) to suddenly become bad, harsh or dangerous“If the weather turns nasty, head straight back.”
• good to go — fully ready and prepared for whatever comes next“Once you've got a waterproof, you're good to go.”
