✈️ USA: New York — June 17 to June 24, 2026

Welcome to a journey meticulously crafted for two history enthusiasts. This itinerary is a deep dive into the soul of New York, bypassing modern glass towers to find the cobblestones of the 1600s, the homes of Founding Fathers, and the echoes of millions of immigrants who shaped the American dream.

🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: June in NYC is a "steamy" affair with temperatures reaching +29°C and high humidity. Expect long, golden days (sunset at 20:30) but be prepared for sudden afternoon thunderstorms. Dress Code: Light linens and cottons are your best friends. Always carry a light cardigan or shirt—the "AC shock" when entering the subway or museums is real (a 15-degree drop!). Hydration: Carry a reusable bottle; the city has many "Cool It! NYC" hydration stations.
