What January feels like
Winter rain here is the soft, all-day kind rather than a downpour, and there is plenty of it. A genuine freeze happens once or twice, and the city drips its faucets and covers the plants for it; otherwise this is a light-jacket month and the museums are the obvious move.
Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy.
