Weather in Munich

Best time to visit

Sitting at an altitude of 520m (1,706 ft) and being relatively close to the Alps, Munich receives about 1,000mm (39 inches) of annual precipitation on the average. In comparison, Hamburg in the north has about 760mm (30 inches) of annual precipitation on the average while Berlin is even drier.

Spring (March to May) brings rain. March sees an average high temperature of 8°C (46°F) and 65mm (2.6 inches) of precipitation. April is warmer albeit rainy – this is when the city celebrates the much acclaimed Long Night of Music (Die Lange Nacht der Musik) where stages are set up across the city from bars to churches with stars performing anything from classical to rock. This is the best time to go for music lovers.

Summer (June to August) receives more rain than other seasons so pack a raincoat with you. 24°C (76°F) is the average high in July and August.

Autumn (September to November) is pleasant. The city is aswarm with visitors during Oktoberfest which starts from late September through to early October. If a mammoth beer marathon takes your fancy and you’re lucky to get flight tickets, pack a sweater with you as alcohol actually lowers your core body temperature (despite you may feel warmer). 19°C (66°F) is the average high in September.

Winter (December to February) is a popular season in Munich thanks mainly to its elaborate Christingle celebrations and its close proximity to many good ski resorts in the mountains beyond. In December, the average high is 3°C (37°F) while the average low is 0°C (32°F).
