🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: May in Milan is a beautiful but temperamental spring month. Expect pleasant daytime temperatures around +17°C to +22°C , dropping to +9°C at night. The Rain Factor: May is one of the wettest months. Always carry a compact umbrella or a stylish light raincoat. If a sudden storm hits, duck into the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II or the Brera Pinacoteca . Dress Code: Think "Milanese Chic" layers. A light scarf and a mid-weight jacket are essential for the evening temperature drop. Comfortable walking shoes are a must for the cobblestones of Brera and Navigli. Allergy Alert: High pollen counts in Parco Sempione ; keep antihistamines handy if you are sensitive.
