🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES The May Vibe: Expect a refreshing English spring with temperatures ranging from 15°C to 18°C. While the sun often graces the city, the "four seasons in one day" rule applies. Clothing Strategy: Embrace the "layering principle." Start with a light sweater and keep a compact umbrella or a stylish raincoat in your daypack. Comfortable walking shoes are non-negotiable, as London is best discovered on foot. Daylight Perk: With the sun setting after 20:40, you have extra "golden hours" for evening strolls along the Thames or panoramic views without the rush.
