🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES The Forecast: Expect intense heat (+27°C to +35°C, feeling like +40°C) with a high probability (60%) of late afternoon tropical downpours. Logistics Impact: Dress Code: Wear light, breathable fabrics. For temples (Day 2), you must cover shoulders and knees—linen trousers or long skirts are your best friends. Hydration: Drink bottled water constantly; "7-Eleven" is your air-conditioned sanctuary. Rain Plan: Between 16:00 and 18:00, stay near malls or MRT stations to avoid being stranded by sudden floods or gridlocked traffic.
