🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER FORECAST & NUANCES: Conditions: Expect pleasant late spring weather with temperatures ranging from +16°C to +26°C . While the sun is warm, humidity is still manageable. Logistics Impact: Layering is Key: The "concrete jungle" effect makes afternoons feel hotter than the forecast suggests, but air-conditioned trains and evening breezes are chilly. Bring a light windbreaker. Rain Ready: May sees a 30-35% chance of rain. Keep a compact umbrella handy; if a downpour hits, pivot to the underground "Depachika" (department store basements) or the Shinjuku/Tokyo station subterranean malls. Early Sun: With sunrise at 04:30 AM, the city wakes up early. Use this to beat the crowds at temples.
