Q: How should I pack for sudden summer storms?

Pack for pop-up summer storms in Ocean City : a light rain shell, waterproof phone pouch, and a named indoor backup (arcade, outlet browsing, condo downtime)—not “we’ll wait it out on the sand.” Afternoon thunderstorms are common in peak season. Lightning can reach swimmers before rain feels heavy at the Boardwalk. Leave the beach at the first sign of thunder; a dry change of clothes in the car or room saves the evening. Watch live radar , today’s weather , and cloud cover . When cells scrub the plan, open rainy day ideas .
