Germany: Climate & Weather
Summer is the best time to visit Germany,
Spring and autumn are also good options, particularly the months of May and September when there is little rainfall and the temperatures are agreeable. Winter should be avoided: Severe cold in certain areas, frequent snow, fog and rain means this truly is not the best time to explore the country! |
