🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect quintessential English summer: pleasant highs of +24°C and long, golden evenings. Clothing: Layering is your best friend—bring a light waterproof jacket for sudden 20-minute showers and comfortable walking shoes for the 15,000+ steps daily. Logistics: Take advantage of the 9:21 PM sunset for late-night photography. Avoid the deep Tube lines (Central/Northern) during peak heat; opt for the breezy top deck of a red bus or the Uber Boat.
