🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect a true Roman summer with temperatures peaking at +33°C. The sun is intense, so high SPF, a wide-brimmed hat, and a refillable water bottle are non-negotiable (look for the nasoni—Rome's free public drinking fountains). Evening brings a pleasant drop to +20°C, perfect for photography during the "Golden Hour" (19:30–20:30) when the travertine stone of the monuments glows orange.
