What to pack for Chennai in the summer

Chennai experiences extremely hot and humid weather during the summer months.

It is important to pack lightweight and breathable clothing to stay comfortable in the intense heat. Opt for loose-fitting cotton shirts and tops to allow for air circulation and to help keep you cool. Pack a few pairs of lightweight and comfortable shorts or skirts to stay cool during the day.

Choose light-colored clothing to reflect the sun's rays and help keep you cooler. Don't forget to bring a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the strong sun. Additionally, it's important to pack breathable and comfortable footwear, such as sandals or flip-flops, as you'll likely be doing a lot of walking in the heat.

Finally, don't forget to pack a swimsuit if you plan on visiting the beach or taking a dip in a pool to cool off from the summer heat.
