🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: May in Rome is absolute perfection—warm enough for t-shirts during the day (+22°C) but crisp enough for a light jacket at night (+13°C). Style Tip: Wear comfortable sneakers with good grip; Roman sampietrini (cobblestones) are notoriously slippery when damp and tough on thin soles. Allergy Alert: Plane trees are in full bloom, so bring antihistamines if you are sensitive to pollen.
