🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect a true Roman summer with temperatures peaking at +33°C. The sun is intense (UV 8+), so hydration and shade are your best friends. Clothing: Light linens or cottons are essential. Crucial: Always carry a light scarf or shawl in your bag; Roman churches strictly require shoulders and knees to be covered. Strategy: Use the "siesta" hours (13:00–16:00) for indoor museums or long lunches in air-conditioned trattorias.
