🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES Weather Outlook (May 12–15): Expect delightful spring conditions with daytime highs of +18°C to +23°C. The sun sets late (around 20:45), offering long "golden hours" for photography. Clothing Advice: Dress in light layers. A light jacket or pashmina is essential for breezy evenings by the sea. Wear comfortable walking shoes or stylish sneakers, as Nice is best explored on foot, and the Nietzsche Path in Eze requires sturdy soles. Carry a compact umbrella for occasional May showers.
