How The Month Feels
May feels active and a bit unpredictable: you get daytime warmth (18.6°C) and some sunshine (10.8 hours), but rain is common (11.2 rainy days). Nights cool to about 8.7°C, so evenings are best kept for indoor time or quick stops.
What To Lock In Early
Because crowd levels are high, it’s worth reserving anything time-slot based at the top attractions as soon as you know your dates. Keep flexibility between outdoor and indoor days, since rain (about 59.8 mm total) can shift what’s most comfortable to do first.
