How to plan the perfect summer date
Long evenings and warm weather open up options you don't get the rest of the year, so make the most of the daylight. Build the date around the golden hour — a beach picnic into sunset, rooftop drinks as the light drops, or an outdoor cinema under the stars. Stay hydrated, pack sunscreen and time outdoor plans to avoid the hottest part of the day. Summer is also festival and market season, so there's usually a free or cheap event on that turns into an easy, low-planning date.
