🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect a classic Milanese spring: pleasant temperatures (+12°C to +22°C) but with a high chance of sudden afternoon showers. What to wear: Think "Milanese Chic Layers." A light trench coat or a stylish waterproof jacket is essential. Wear comfortable leather sneakers or loafers—cobblestones are unforgiving. Logistics Note: May is peak bloom; if you have pollen allergies, keep antihistamines handy for the park visits. Sunset is late (20:42), providing a perfect "golden hour" for Aperitivo.
