🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect pleasant late-spring vibes with daytime highs of +24°C to +27°C and cool evenings around +16°C . The "Shinryoku" (fresh greenery) season is in full swing, making parks exceptionally vibrant. Clothing: Light, breathable layers for the day; a light jacket or hoodie is essential for the 19:00 sunset and evening river walks. Logistics: With 14 hours of daylight, you can push outdoor activities late. Keep a compact umbrella handy for the occasional 30% chance of spring showers.
