Quick answers
Sometimes, but it is more of a selective pick than an all-purpose recommendation.
Expect around 3.3°C by day and -1.7°C at night, with 64.3 mm of rain across roughly 14.6 rainy days.
Pack warm layers, a light rain jacket, and shoes that handle wet pavements well.
Often yes. This kind of month can make more sense on value than on perfect conditions, especially if cheaper stays and flights matter more than peak-season polish.
