Weather/Rain/things open in end of Oct - beginning Nov?

Researching a wine lover's river boat cruise with Avalon that would take place Oct 30 - Nov 6. It would take us from Budapest - Slovakia - Austria and end in Germany (basically the Danube). What can be expected of the weather at that time? I am curious about temperatures and amounts of rainfall that could impact the trip. Also since it would be off-season, would there still be plenty of things open to experience when off the boat?

Thank you for any info!

For the weather, the further north you go, the colder and I belive the wetter it gets. As the start, Budapest, the end of October is cool, but by my definition not yet cold. Its not the wettest nor it the driest month of the year. Neither is November. Since wet, dry, cold, cool are all relative term and dependent upon your comfort levels I suggest you go here and compare your home town to the places the boat stops https://weatherspark.com/compare

In Budapest for things to do, everything will be open and the shorter days present the opportunity to see the city lit up which in remarkably beautiful.
