🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER FORECAST & NUANCES: Expect mild spring conditions with temperatures ranging from +12°C to +23°C. May is famously temperamental in Milan; while the sun shines brightly, sudden afternoon thunderstorms are common. Wardrobe: Think "Milanese Layers." A light trench coat or a stylish waterproof jacket is essential. Wear comfortable leather sneakers for cobblestones. For the Lake Como day, bring a scarf for the breezy ferry rides. Logistics Tip: Daylight lasts until nearly 21:00, giving you golden hours for photography, but always carry a compact umbrella.
