🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect a true Roman summer with temperatures peaking at +34°C. The sun is intense (UV index 8-10), so lightweight linen clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, and high-SPF sunscreen are your best friends. We have strategically placed indoor museum visits and shaded park walks during the midday heat. Pro tip: Look for the "Nasoni" (curved iron fountains) scattered across the city; they provide ice-cold, free drinking water—perfect for staying hydrated.
