🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY: Expect warm Mediterranean vibes with daytime temperatures around 25°C–28°C. The sun is still potent in early September, so lightweight linen clothing, a hat, and high-SPF sunscreen are your best friends. Evenings are pleasant (around 20°C), but a light sea breeze near the Lungomare might call for a thin layer. Stay hydrated and be prepared for the occasional short, dramatic thunderstorm—a perfect excuse to duck into a historic cafe.
