The weather is fairly constant along the Rhine River year-round due to the sheer size of the body of water and the low altitude. In October it is seasonably warm and often enjoys what is called Altweibersommer or old woman's (or widow) Summer much like Indian Summer as it is called in North America.
The weather is very unreliable in Germany, even in Summer. And a day starting with sunshine and 30 degrees can easily end up witha thunderstorm, rain and a drop of temerature to 15 degrees. So be prepared for rain (umbrealla) and temperatures under 20 degrees. You might also need a sweatshirt in Italy in the evenings.
