Clothings/temperature in Paris/Rome by mid-May
I wonder if it is necessary to wear a sweater in the day or night during mid-May ?
Is one collared t-shirt alone for a strong male enough ?
I can check the temperature online but being one from a hot Asian country and lacking travel experience, I cannot figure it out.

Best bet is to check a ten or fifteen day forecast online just ahead of departure to finalize your packing. Pay attention the the lows as well as the highs, and know that this time of year those highs, if reached, will be only for a few hours at best mid-day.
It will likely be chilly mornings and evenings. If you're used to hot weather, you probably most definitely will need outerwear...recommend something windproof/waterproof and something warmer for underneath. For sure, you'll need one or the other or both throughout your visit.

We frequently visit Paris in May, and I usually find a shirt and jacket -- blazer -- sufficient unless it is raining. I sometimes wear a dark T shirt or polo shirt (knit but with collar) under a black or blue blazer, though this may be cool in the evening.
If you are opposed to wearing a blazer or other sports jacket, as many who post here are, you will definitely need a windbreaker/rain jacket of some sort. But I don't think you are likely to need a sweater.

Defying all meteorological logic, (non-working) Parisians and tourists alike are wearing shorts and flip flops today. It has been 26° for the last two days and feels even warmer because nobody is used to it.
(Some) 20ish women are wearing hot pants. Now that it a 'fashion' that I hoped never to see again.
