🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES The "Ice Saints" Alert: Your trip coincides with the Eisheiligen (May 11–15), a local phenomenon where temperatures can suddenly plummet. Expect daytime highs of +16°C to +20°C, but be prepared for "Alpine surprises" where it drops to +5°C. Gear Up: Layering is your best friend. Bring a light down vest or a windbreaker and waterproof shoes. The Rain Factor: May is one of Munich's wettest months. Always have a "Plan B" (like the Pinakotheks or Residenz) ready if a downpour hits. Evening Vibes: Sunset is late ( 20:45), giving you plenty of light, but beer gardens get chilly after 18:00—grab a seat near a heater or bring a scarf.
