🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES Conditions: Expect temperatures between +18°C and +28°C with frequent "misty" humidity. Logistics Impact: Panda Strategy: High humidity and heat (above +26°C) make pandas sleepy. You must arrive at the base by 07:30 to see them active. Gear: Bring light cotton layers, comfortable non-slip shoes for Leshan’s stairs, and a compact umbrella for the "Chengdu drizzle." Visibility: May is hazy; if the West Pearl Tower is shrouded in clouds, swap outdoor viewpoints for the Shadow Puppet museum.
