🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect a refreshing spring embrace with daytime temperatures around +12°C to +16°C. The May sun stays up until 21:10, bathing the city in a long "golden hour" perfect for photography. What to wear: Layering is your best friend. Bring a windproof light jacket for the harbor breeze and a stylish sweater for the evening. Comfortable walking shoes are non-negotiable for Copenhagen’s cobblestones. Always carry a compact umbrella, as a 35% rain chance can mean a quick, romantic drizzle.
