🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES Conditions: Expect pleasant warmth (+15°C to +24°C) with moderate humidity. May is the "sweet spot" before the rainy season, though a 30% chance of showers remains. Clothing Advice: Dress in layers. A light breathable base for the sunny afternoons and a stylish light jacket or trench coat for the cooler evenings (+15°C). Comfortable walking shoes are non-negotiable as you will cover significant distances on foot. Logistics Note: With sunrise at 04:40, early birds get the best photos at shrines. Always carry a compact umbrella—May showers are brief but sudden.
