🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Copenhagen in mid-May is a delicate dance of spring blooms and brisk Baltic breezes. Expect daytime highs of +11°C to +16°C, but the "real feel" can be much cooler due to the wind. What to wear: The "Copenhagen Uniform" is key—think stylish layers. A windproof jacket or a light wool coat is essential. Bring a scarf and comfortable waterproof sneakers for the cobblestones. Daylight: With over 16 hours of light, you can enjoy the "Golden Hour" well into the evening. Sunset isn't until 21:00, making late-night strolls through the illuminated canals perfectly safe and stunning.
