🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: May in Rome is a sensory delight, but it requires a "layered" strategy. Expect pleasant daytime highs (+18°C to +23°C) perfect for walking, but be prepared for the "May showers"—sudden, dramatic, yet brief thunderstorms. Clothing: Pack a light waterproof shell and comfortable walking shoes (cobblestones are unforgiving). Evening: Temperatures drop to +10°C…+14°C after sunset; a light jacket or stylish scarf is essential for outdoor dining. Pro Tip: Use the midday warmth for outdoor ruins and keep the basilicas as your "rainy day" refuge.
