🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect mild, pleasant temperatures between +20°C and +23°C, though the Atlantic breeze can bring sudden "June showers." With the sun setting as late as 21:21, you have maximum daylight for photography. Clothing Tip: Wear breathable layers and carry a compact umbrella or a light waterproof mac. For those with hay fever, June is peak grass pollen season—keep antihistamines handy when visiting the lush Rose Gardens or Primrose Hill.
