🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect the "Golden June" experience: long, balmy days with sunsets after 9:00 PM. Temperatures hover around a pleasant 22°C (72°F), but the London sun can be surprisingly sharp—bring sunglasses and SPF. Clothing Tip: Layers are your best friend. A light linen shirt for the day and a stylish trench or denim jacket for the breezy evening walks along the Thames. Always carry a compact umbrella; June "showers" are brief but spirited.
