🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect mild June warmth (+20°C to +24°C) and the legendary 17-hour daylight of the summer solstice. While the sun lingers until 21:20, the "London drizzle" is always a possibility—carry a light waterproof layer. Wear comfortable walking shoes; the City’s cobblestones are unforgiving but beautiful.
