The weather is improving and we would love to combine boardgaming and spending time outside. Azul works very well outside, not so many things can fly away. Any other recommendations?

Hive. The original version has larger tiles, the mini version is more compact but should still work as long as it's not too windy. Hive Carbon is worth checking out if you prefer that color scheme.
For Azul I wonder if the new Azul Mini might work better, smaller tiles but the boards have indents to keep tile in place. And much better score track.
Oh, Hive is a duel game! I love those because we mostly play with two. With some games designed for bigger groups I often feel like something is missing from the session if played with two, its a different dynamic
For 2 you could also check out War Chest. It's sort of a mix between a bag-builder and an abstract. You play with weighty poker chips that should work well outside. There are 8 cards each game to remind players of the unit abilities in the given game, you could put these on some kind of card holder and once you are comfortable with the unit abilities you won't need them at all.
