Cool mornings and sudden showers. Layer a light shell and use shoes with grip for wet bridge ramps.

Tourist-heavy city center. Go early, wear breathable layers, and rotate cushioned shoes for high weekly road volume.

Wind and slick leaves return. Add a wind layer and improve visibility on gray afternoons.

Cold rain, short daylight, occasional frost. Prioritize reflectivity and stable grip on icy bridges.
