How The Month Feels
Expect mostly comfortable days around the high teens, but bring something warm for night. Rain can appear often (about 9 rainy days), so your plan will work better when it includes indoor fallback options.
What To Lock In Early
If you want a smoother schedule, consider reserving museum visits ahead of time for your preferred day. Keep flexibility for outdoor church visits, since rain is frequent enough to shift which blocks you do outdoors.
