🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect a classic London June: pleasant daytime temperatures around +22°C, but with the ever-present chance of a quick shower. The sun stays up until 21:21, giving you "infinite" evenings. Clothing: Dress in light layers. A breathable waterproof jacket is essential. Health: Grass pollen is at its peak; if you suffer from hay fever, keep antihistamines handy for the park visits. Transport Tip: The Tube can get stuffy in June; opt for the iconic red double-decker buses for a "free" sightseeing tour with better ventilation.
