🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES The May Vibe: Expect pleasant warmth during the day (+20°C to +24°C), but keep a light trench coat or stylish jacket handy for the evenings when temperatures dip to +13°C. The Rain Factor: May is notorious for sudden afternoon thunderstorms. Always carry a compact umbrella. If the clouds darken, head for the covered Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II or the porticos of Via Dante. Light for Architecture: With sunset around 20:45, the "Golden Hour" is exceptionally long. This is the perfect time to photograph the Duomo’s spires or the Bosco Verticale’s greenery.
