🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect pleasant June weather with temperatures between +20°C and +24°C. The "Great British Summer" often includes sudden 30-minute showers, so a lightweight waterproof jacket or a compact umbrella is essential. With sunset not occurring until 21:21, you’ll have plenty of daylight for evening strolls. Pro tip: Wear comfortable, broken-in sneakers; London is best explored on foot, and the historic cobblestones in areas like Shad Thames and Spitalfields can be unforgiving.
