🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & LOGISTICS: Expect a "Hazy, Hot, and Humid" June. Daytime temperatures range from +24°C to +32°C, with high humidity making it feel warmer. Wear breathable natural fabrics (linen/cotton) and comfortable walking shoes. Always carry a reusable water bottle and a compact umbrella for sudden afternoon thunderstorms. Sunset is around 20:31; aim for waterfronts or bridges during this time for the most romantic lighting. Use air-conditioned museums, the Oculus, or Chelsea Market between 13:00 and 16:00 to escape the peak solar intensity.
