🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect a "tropical transition" vibe: daytime temperatures hover around 30°C with high humidity, so breathable linen or cotton clothing is your best friend. Since it's peak typhoon season, always carry a sturdy umbrella and keep a "rainy day" backup plan (like the Tenjin Underground City) in mind. The sun sets beautifully around 18:42, providing a perfect golden hour for seaside photos, but be prepared for sudden, brief downpours.
