🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect the classic "May Gray" phenomenon: mornings will likely be draped in a cool, misty marine layer. Temperature: Highs of 21°C–24°C, dropping to 13°C at night. Clothing: The "LA Uniform" is essential—dress in layers. A light hoodie or denim jacket is mandatory for the chilly evenings and foggy mornings. Pro Tip: Do not plan panoramic photos before 1:00 PM; wait for the sun to "burn off" the fog for those crisp Pacific views.
