@ sanddy dog, ... yeah figured the clothes would need to be warmer ... :) Its actually for my friend who is moving there, I have been to Baku in the past but never this place so really have no advice for her .. just thought someone here could help .. she is from Mississippi so it will be a culture shock for her.

It's : D without the space, it's an EW one. I guess you've given the OP a clue as to what clothes she needs to take (ie none of the UAE ones LOL!) LOL!

My father work with a group from there many moons ago and often travelled there. All I remember is that it is very very cold there, even in the summer.
