🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES May Weather: Expect delightful spring conditions with daytime highs of +18°C to +24°C. However, May is known for its "refreshing" surprises—brief afternoon thunderstorms are likely around May 13th and 15th. The "Layering Rule": Mornings are crisp (+11°C), while the afternoon sun can feel like +26°C. Wear breathable fabrics and carry a light jacket for the evening. Logistics Note: Rome’s cobblestones ( sampietrini ) become incredibly slick when wet; choose footwear with good grip. With sunset at 20:20, the "Golden Hour" for photos starts around 19:15—perfect for the panoramic terraces included in your plan.
