🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES Expect classic mid-May spring vibes: daytime highs around +17°C to +20°C and cool evenings near +10°C . The Layering Rule: Start your day with a light jacket or hoodie; by noon, you’ll likely want to be in a t-shirt. Rain Check: May is humid with a 30-40% chance of showers. Keep a compact umbrella or a stylish raincoat handy. Golden Hour: Sunset is late ( 20:05), giving you plenty of light for photos. If the forecast shows fog, prioritize indoor museums and save the Brooklyn Bridge for a clear window.
