🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect a classic New York June: warm and humid with temperatures between +24°C and +32°C. The "sauna effect" is real, so stay hydrated and lean into air-conditioned museums during the midday peak. Clothing: Light, breathable fabrics (linen/cotton) and your most comfortable walking shoes are essential. Always carry a compact umbrella for sudden afternoon thundershowers. Pro-tip: The "Golden Hour" starts around 19:30—perfect for those Brooklyn skyline shots.
