🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect bright, warm days (+25°C to +28°C) with a very high UV index (8+). The air is dry, and evening temperatures drop significantly (+13°C), so a "transformer wardrobe" (layers) is essential. Gear: SPF 50+, wide-brimmed hats, and light windbreakers for the Great Wall. Health: Keep kids hydrated and carry a light face mask in case of lingering spring dust. Timing: Start early to beat the 10:00–16:00 heat peak.
