Weather

Henley-on-Thames

The itinerary file still does not have a 2026-10-01 entry, so this uses the only explicit remaining dated location context in `plans.json`: Henley-on-Thames. It is a cool, misty start around 12C, feeling nearer 10-11C, then the mist lifts into a mostly sunny late morning and afternoon with highs around 20C, a light-to-moderate west/south-westerly breeze, and very little rain risk after breakfast. The weather motif is mist turning into sun today: take a light layer early, then sunglasses are more useful than an umbrella.
