🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect warm summer days with temperatures reaching +27°C and a high probability of sudden afternoon thunderstorms. Pro-tip: Wear comfortable walking shoes with a solid grip, as the historic cobblestones (especially in Ruthardka Street) become incredibly slippery when wet. Use the thick stone walls of the cathedrals as natural air conditioning during the midday heat (12:00–16:00).
