🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES Expect mild, "spring-like" conditions with daytime highs around +21°C (70°F). While the sun is bright for over 14 hours a day, the evenings drop to a crisp +12°C (54°F). Clothing Advice: Layering is essential. Pack light cotton clothes for the day, but keep a light jacket or sweater handy for evening strolls along the Promenade. Logistics Tip: The sea is a refreshing +18°C—perfect for dipping toes, but perhaps too chilly for a long swim. Focus on the parks and the blooming gardens of Cimiez, which are at their peak beauty in mid-May.
