Isle of Wight weather is mild, wet and changeable, warmed by the Gulf Stream and often windy, so a waterproof layer helps on any day out. Island shops and harbourside cafés sell smoked fish, island cheeses, fudge and bakery bread, which makes a useful stop after a visit. English is the everyday language, so communication is straightforward for most travellers.
