🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES Expect a classic Parisian spring: mild but unpredictable. Temperatures will range from +14°C to +17°C (57°F–63°F) during the day, dropping to a crisp +6°C (43°F) at night. The Layering Rule: May mornings are chilly. Wear a light trench coat or a stylish denim jacket over layers you can shed by noon. Rain Alert: May 13th has a high probability of showers. Keep a compact umbrella or a chic raincoat handy. Footwear: You will be walking on historic cobblestones (especially in Montmartre and Le Marais). Opt for comfortable sneakers or boots with good grip—wet limestone can be slippery!
