🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect a refreshing Nordic spring with temperatures hovering between +12°C and +16°C . While the sun sets late (around 21:10), the sea breeze can be biting. Dress Code: The "Onion Principle" is key—wear layers. A windproof jacket is essential for canal tours and coastal walks. Logistics: May is perfect for cycling, but with children, the Metro and buses are incredibly efficient. Keep an eye out for the Copenhagen Marathon (mid-May); if it coincides with your dates, stick to the Metro as central streets may be closed.
