🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect comfortable spring warmth with temperatures ranging from +14°C to +23°C. The long daylight hours (sunset at 20:25) are perfect for evening strolls. Clothing Advice: Layers are your best friend—mornings are crisp, but the Roman sun is strong by noon. Carry a light waterproof jacket for occasional 20-30% chance spring showers and comfortable sneakers for the cobblestone "sanpietrini" streets.
