🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: May in Milan is a season of "blooming elegance" but comes with a playful unpredictability. The Vibe: Expect pleasant daytime warmth (+21°C to +24°C) perfect for walking, but keep a light jacket or stylish layer ready for the sharp drop to +11°C after sunset. The Rain Factor: May is statistically one of the wettest months. Sudden, intense thunderstorms are common. Always carry a compact umbrella or a chic raincoat. Photography Tip: High humidity can create a morning haze. For the best views from the Duomo terraces or Lake Como, aim for midday when the sun clears the mist. Dress Code: "Milanese Chic" meets practicality. Comfortable waterproof shoes are a must for the cobblestones of Brera and the steep alleys of Bellagio.
