🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Mid-May in London is a "Spring Awakening." Expect mild days (+15°C to +19°C) and crisp evenings. The Layering Rule: London’s weather is famously moody. Start your day with a light sweater and a waterproof trench coat or a stylish windbreaker. Footwear: You will be walking 15,000+ steps daily; prioritize comfort over high fashion, though "smart casual" is the local vibe. Sun & Rain: The sun sets late (nearly 21:00), giving you extra "golden hour" light for photos, but always carry a compact umbrella for the 40% chance of light drizzle.
