🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES Forecast: Temperatures range from +8°C to +20°C (average +14°C). Expect moderate rainfall ( 40% chance) and long daylight hours with sunset at 20:55. Wardrobe Strategy: The "Berlin Onion": Layering is essential. A light waterproof jacket or stylish trench is a must for the 15-degree shifts between morning and afternoon. Footwear: You will be walking on cobblestones in Mitte and uneven pavement in Friedrichshain; wear broken-in sneakers. Allergy Alert: May is peak birch pollen season. If you are sensitive, pack antihistamines before heading to Tiergarten or Charlottenburg. The Rain Plan: Keep a compact umbrella for the "Eisheilige" (Ice Saints) cold snaps. If it pours, swap the East Side Gallery walk for a long session inside the Neues Museum.
