🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect a cool and moody Parisian spring with temperatures between +13°C and +16°C. Rain is highly likely (up to 90% chance), so an umbrella and waterproof shoes are non-negotiable. Style Tip: Embrace "Parisian Chic" layers—a stylish trench coat or light wool coat over a sweater will keep you warm and photo-ready. Logistics: The late sunset (21:20) is your best friend; even if it rains during the day, you’ll likely catch a golden "window" for photos in the evening.
