🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect a refreshing Nordic spring. Daytime temperatures hover around +13°C to +16°C , dropping to +6°C at night. With a 40% chance of light showers and steady Baltic breezes, the "layering rule" is your best friend. Gear Up: Bring a windproof jacket and a light scarf. Daylight: You have over 16 hours of light! The sun sets around 21:10, making evening walks exceptionally beautiful. Pro Tip: If the wind picks up, the spiral stairs of the Church of Our Saviour might close—check their website if it feels particularly gusty.
