🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY: May in Munich is a "shoulder season" beauty, but it comes with the Eisheiligen (Ice Saints) phenomenon. Expect daytime highs of +14°C to +18°C, but be prepared for sudden drops toward 0°C at night. Clothing: Think "onion style"—layers are your best friend. A waterproof light jacket is mandatory as May is the start of the rainy season. Logistics: With sunset near 20:40, you have plenty of daylight for the English Garden and Nymphenburg. If a sudden May downpour hits, seek refuge in the Pinakotheks or the BMW Welt.
