🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect pleasant June temperatures between +20°C and +24°C, perfect for the long 16-hour days of the summer solstice. Dress Code: Think layers—a light waterproof jacket is essential for sudden showers, and comfortable walking shoes are a must. Pro Tip: The Tube can be stuffy in June; use the "Elizabeth Line" for air-conditioned comfort or the Uber Boat for a refreshing river breeze.
