🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES May in Tokyo is the "Sweet Spot"—vibrant green and pleasantly warm. Expect daytime highs of +24°C to +29°C , dipping to a cool +14°C at night. Dress Code: Use the "Layering Rule." Light linen or cotton for the day, and a stylish light jacket or hoodie for the evening breeze. Golden Hour: Sunset is around 18:35 . This is your cue for the most romantic photos at Shibuya Sky or Tokyo Tower. Hydration & Sun: The UV index is high; carry a small umbrella (doubles for sun and sudden "guerilla rain") and stay hydrated.
