🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect pleasant warmth with daytime temperatures between +22°C and +26°C. The sun can be surprisingly strong (UV Index 5-7), so hats and sunscreen are essential for kids. Evenings are mild (+15°C), but air conditioning in trains and malls can be chilly—bring a light cardigan. There’s a 30% chance of brief showers; always carry a compact umbrella. With sunrise at 04:40, the city wakes up early, offering perfect light for morning garden strolls.
