🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY AND NUANCES: Expect "Cloudy Chengdu" at its peak: humid, warm (+26°C to +29°C), and occasionally drizzly. Dress Code: Breathable fabrics (linen/cotton) are your best friends. Bring a light waterproof windbreaker and shoes with good grip, as historic stone alleys become slippery after the typical night rains. Sun Protection: Don't let the clouds fool you; the UV index is high. Wear sunscreen. Timing: Pandas are active only in the cool morning hours—stick strictly to the 07:30 start!
