That average temperature is a large increase from March, jumping up five degrees. During the evening and overnight hours, you'll see temperatures dropping down to 4°C (about 39°F). If you'll be out and about during this time, be sure to bring a jacket or coat.
During the warmest parts of the day, the high temperature reaches up to 13°C (about 55°F).
