Weather in Belgrade in May

In Serbia, this is how Belgrade actually wears May, not how a country centroid would. Compared with August and January, May sits in the middle of Belgrade's year.

What to expect
Daytime
Mild afternoons in Belgrade are the prize in May. You can eat outside on the good days. You still want something for the breeze.
This is walking weather. Shade is useful, not essential the way it is in the hot months. A long outdoor day is a reasonable plan.
Rain
May is the wet side of the year in Belgrade. Days can be heavy. Plans that cannot survive rain are the wrong plans.
This is not a reason to skip Belgrade if you like the place. It is a reason to pack for weather and to stop treating every grey hour as a failed holiday.
Evening
Evenings are cooler. A layer helps after sunset.
What to pack
