🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect a classic New York summer: hot (+24°C to +32°C) and humid. Afternoon thunderstorms are common, so always have a "Plan B" indoors. Clothing: Lightweight, breathable fabrics (linen/cotton), comfortable walking shoes, and a light hoodie for the aggressive AC in museums. Protection: High SPF sunscreen and hats are mandatory for the High Line and Brooklyn Bridge. Hydration: Carry reusable bottles; NYC tap water is world-class and there are fountains in most parks.
