🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect pleasant warmth (+18°C to +27°C) with rising humidity. Clothing: Light cotton layers are best, but keep a light jacket for the breezy Bund evenings. Sun/Rain: The UV index is high—bring hats and sunscreen for Disneyland. Keep a compact umbrella or rain ponchos handy for sudden May showers. Pro-tip: Start your outdoor walks early (before 11:00 AM) to beat both the heat and the crowds.
