🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect classic Roman summer heat with temperatures peaking at +34°C. The sun is intense, so SPF 50+, a wide-brimmed hat, and a reusable water bottle are non-negotiable. Utilize the nasoni (curved drinking fountains) scattered throughout the city for free, ice-cold water. For churches, keep a light linen scarf in your bag to cover shoulders and knees. The late sunset at 20:47 provides a magical "golden hour" for photography, especially from Rome's many terraces.
