🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Welcome to the "Tsuyu" (rainy season). Expect temperatures between +19°C and +28°C with high humidity (80%). While the rain brings out the vibrant colors of hydrangeas, it requires flexibility. Clothing: Lightweight, quick-drying fabrics and waterproof shoes are essential. Always carry a compact umbrella (or buy a clear one at a 7-Eleven for the full Tokyo aesthetic). The high humidity can make it feel like a sauna, so utilize the excellent air-conditioning in malls and museums.
