🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect a true "Bavarian Summer" with intense heat reaching +34°C (94°F) and very dry air. Clothing: Lightweight linen or cotton clothes are essential, along with a wide-brimmed hat and high-SPF sunscreen. Pro-tip: Carry a reusable water bottle (there are refill stations in town) and monitor the AQI (Air Quality Index) due to potential wildfire smoke in the Cascades. Evenings cool down significantly to +11°C, so bring a light jacket for your sunset strolls.
