🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES Expect pleasant spring conditions with daytime highs around +22°C to +25°C and evening lows of +14°C. While the rainy season hasn't fully arrived, a 30% chance of showers means a compact umbrella is a wise carry-on. Clothing Advice: Dress in light layers. A breathable T-shirt is perfect for the sunny afternoon walks in Shinjuku Gyoen, but you will definitely need a light jacket or denim layer once the sun sets at 18:38. Logistics Note: The UV index is surprisingly high (5-7); apply SPF before heading to the open spaces of Odaiba or the Imperial Palace.
