🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY: May Conditions: Expect pleasant temperatures ranging from +13°C to +21°C . The sun is bright, but the breeze from the Mediterranean remains cool. Clothing Advice: Layering is your best friend. A light windbreaker or denim jacket is essential for the evenings when the temperature drops. Wear comfortable walking shoes with good grip, especially for the cobblestones of Old Nice and the rocky Nietzsche Path. Logistics Note: With sunset around 20:45 , you have plenty of daylight. However, be prepared for quick May showers; keep a compact umbrella or poncho handy to avoid being forced into expensive cafes during a downpour.
