Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) in Glenwood are transitional periods with noticeable temperature fluctuations. During this time, the layering principle in clothing is particularly useful.

Although the total precipitation in millimeters is low, there are between 6 and 12 "wet days" per month. This means a light umbrella or waterproof jacket will be very useful, especially if your trip is planned for the period from April to October. Remember that even in warm months, evenings can be cool, so always have something warm with you.
