🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect classic British summer vibes: pleasant daytime temperatures around +20°C to +23°C and very long daylight hours (sunset after 21:00). Clothing: Dress in "layers." A light waterproof jacket is essential for the occasional "London drizzle," and a sweater is needed for the sharp temperature drop after sunset. Driving: Roads are in excellent condition, but June is peak hay fever season; keep anti-allergens handy if you plan to walk through the meadows or Richmond Park.
