The weather in Munich tends to be somewhat unpredictable. Summers are fairly warm but can also be exceptionally wet, and a typical day could see lovely sunny weather interspersed with dramatic thunderstorms. Winters are cold with light snowfall.
In summer (June to August), average temperatures range between 50°F (10°C) and 73°F (23°C), while in winter (December to February), the mercury fluctuates between 25°F (-4°C) and 39°F (4°C).
The Alps cause two unique aberrations in Munich's weather. South-westerly winds crossing the Alps can push up temperatures markedly even in winter. In contrast, north-westerly winds blowing from the mountains bring unseasonably low temperatures, rain and even snow on odd days.
You can look forward to experiencing various weather conditions in Munich. Irrespective of the weather, though, there is always something to do in the city, and you will learn to love the differing seasons and the variety of activities they offer.
