🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: May in Kyoto is the "Golden Window"—the city is draped in Shin-ryoku (vibrant fresh green). Expect pleasant days (+22°C to +26°C) and cool evenings (+13°C). Clothing: Think layers. A light jacket is essential for the evening. Sun & Rain: The UV index is high, so pack child-friendly SPF. Keep a compact umbrella handy for sudden May showers. Logistics: The long daylight hours (sunset at 18:55) are your best friend, allowing for relaxed late-afternoon strolls.
