Expect damp, changeable days with roughly a dozen rainy days and only brief sunshine, so schedules work best when you assume indoor time. Temperatures stay cool—around 4°C by day and near -0.9°C at night—making short outdoor bursts more comfortable than long stretches.
What To Lock In Early
With low crowds and low prices, you can usually keep flexibility for December while still covering the top museum anchors. If you want a smoother visit flow, reserve ahead for the two highest-scoring museums and plan the outdoor landmarks around the gaps in rain.

Practical trip tips
Build the day around warm indoor stops, because the city is much more enjoyable when you can reset between walks.
Keep one museum or covered landmark in reserve each day so a sudden weather shift does not ruin the plan.
Leave some breathing room in the itinerary, because this is a good month to follow the mood of the city rather than rushing it.
