🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES May Weather: Expect pleasant daytime temperatures around +19°C to +22°C, perfect for walking. However, the Mediterranean breeze can feel sharp, and evenings drop to a cool +13°C. Clothing Advice: Layering is your best friend. Wear comfortable sneakers for the coastal paths and a light windbreaker or denim jacket for the evenings. Don't forget SPF 30+ as the May sun is deceptive, and a scarf for the ferry ride to Port Grimaud. Logistics Note: May 12th is a market day; expect the town to be buzzing and vibrant until mid-afternoon.
