🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect quintessential English summer weather: mild days (+20°C to +24°C) and cool evenings. June 20-21 marks the Summer Solstice, providing over 16.5 hours of daylight—perfect for late-evening photography. Clothing: Layering is key. Bring a light waterproof jacket for sudden showers and comfortable walking shoes for cobblestone streets. Sun Protection: The sun is surprisingly strong during the "endless days"; wear SPF even if it looks cloudy.
