🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect a classic New York June: warm, humid, and vibrant. Temperatures will hover between +18°C and +27°C , but the "concrete jungle" effect can make it feel hotter. Pro-tip: Wear breathable fabrics and comfortable sneakers—you'll be hitting 15k+ steps daily. Keep a light rain shell or umbrella handy for sudden afternoon thunderstorms, and always carry a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated between the air-conditioned subway rides.
