🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Barcelona in mid-May is delightful, with temperatures hovering between +18°C and +22°C . The sun is generous, but the Mediterranean breeze can be brisk. What to wear: Think layers. A light cotton t-shirt for the afternoon sun and a denim jacket or light sweater for the evening when it drops to +14°C. Pro-tip: May can bring sudden "flash" rain showers. Keep a compact raincoat in your bag. Nature Alert: Plane trees (Platanus) are in full bloom; if anyone in the family has hay fever, bring your usual antihistamines.
