🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES Forecast: Expect pleasant daytime temperatures between +20°C and +24°C, cooling down to +11°C…+14°C at night. May is one of Milan's wettest months, so sudden spring thunderstorms are likely. Clothing Advice: Use the "onion principle" (layering). A light waterproof jacket or a compact umbrella is mandatory. Wear comfortable sneakers for the cobblestones of Brera and the steep alleys of Varenna. Logistics Note: With sunset around 20:45, you have plenty of golden hour light for photos at the Duomo terraces or the Navigli canals.
