🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY: Expect pleasant May temperatures ranging from +18°C to +22°C during the day, dropping to a crisp +12°C at night. Style Tip: Embrace the "Venetian Layering"—light linens for the sunny afternoons and a stylish knit or light jacket for breezy vaporetto rides. While "Acqua Alta" is unlikely, the stone steps can be slippery after a light spring shower; wear comfortable shoes with good grip. The late sunset (around 20:30) provides a magnificent "Golden Hour" for photography.
