🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES The Forecast: Expect pleasant late-spring vibes with daytime temperatures ranging from +21°C to +25°C. While the sun is generous, the humidity is beginning to climb (65-70%), making the air feel slightly heavier. What to Wear: Layers are key: A light t-shirt for the sunny afternoons and a versatile light jacket or hoodie for the evening drop to +15°C. Footwear: You will be hitting 15,000+ steps daily; wear broken-in sneakers. Rain Prep: Keep a compact umbrella or a light poncho in your bag—May showers are quick but can be intense. Pro Tip: With sunrise at 04:35, use the early light for crowd-free photos at Senso-ji or Meiji Jingu before the official "day" begins.
