Essentials

Midnight Sun: Homer gets 18+ hours of daylight in the summer!

Average Temperatures: High 61, Low 48

Clothing: The weather can be cool, and it will probably rain during your stay. During a day, it can change from chilly and rainy to warm and bright, so the best strategy is to wear layers. For shoes, you might consider something water resistant and more substantial than sneakers. But you will see people in flip flops and shorts during July.

You’d be wise to have the following on hand:
Sunglasses
Sunscreen
Baseball hat
Bug Spray
Clothes that can get fishy if you're going fishing
Rain Coat
Warm Hat
Gloves
Boots or shoes that can get wet
Wool socks
Long johns

Time Zone: In July, the time zone is Alaska Daylight Time (AKDT) which is 1 hour earlier than California, and 4 hours earlier than New York.

Geography: Contrary to a popular rumor, you will not be able to see Russia from your house in Homer.
