Based on current monthly figures, on average, German climate has gotten a bit warmer. The average temperature for January 2025 was recorded at around 2 degrees Celsius, compared to 1.5 degrees a year before. In the broader context of climate change, average monthly temperatures are indicative of where the national climate is headed and whether attempts to control global warming are successful. Summer and winter Average summer temperature in Germany fluctuated in recent years, generally between 18 to 19 degrees Celsius. The season remains generally warm, and while there may not be as many hot and sunny days as in other parts of Europe, heat waves have occurred. In fact, 2023 saw 11.5 days with a temperature of at least 30 degrees, though this was a decrease compared to the year before. Meanwhile, average winter temperatures also fluctuated, but were higher in recent years, rising over four degrees on average in 2024. Figures remained in the above zero range since 2011. Numbers therefore suggest that German winters are becoming warmer, even if individual regions experiencing colder sub-zero snaps or even more snowfall may disagree. Rain, rain, go away Average monthly precipitation varied depending on the season, though sometimes figures from different times of the year were comparable. In 2024, the average monthly precipitation was highest in May and September, although rainfalls might increase in October and November with the beginning of the cold season. In the past, torrential rains have led to catastrophic flooding in Germany, with one of the most devastating being the flood of July 2021. Germany is not immune to the weather changing between two extremes, e.g. very warm spring months mostly without rain, when rain might be wished for, and then increased precipitation in other months where dry weather might be better, for example during planting and harvest seasons. Climate change remains on the agenda in all its far-reaching ways.

In May 2025, the average temperature in Berlin was **** degrees Celsius. This was a decrease compared to the May a year ago.

In April 2025, the average precipitation amounted to 31 liters per square meter, an increase compared to the previous month. The rainiest state in Germany was Saarland.

In 2024, the average summer temperature in Germany was **** degrees Celsius. This was basically unchanged compared to the year before. While figures fluctuated during the given timeline, there were regular peaks, and in general, temperatures had grown noticeably since the 1960s. Not beating the heat German summers are getting hotter, and as desired as warm weather may be after months of winter (which, incidentally, also warms up year after year), this is another confirmation of global warming. Higher summer temperatures have various negative effects on both nature and humans. Recent years in Germany have seen a growing number of hot days with a temperature of at least 30 degrees, with **** recorded in 2023. However, this was a decrease compared to the year before. The number of deaths due to heat and sunlight had peaked in 2015. Rain or shine All the German states saw less sunshine hours in 2023 compared to the previous year. The sunniest states were Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria and Saarland. Meanwhile, summer precipitation in Germany varied greatly during the same timeline as presented in this graph, but 2022 was one of the dryest years yet.

This statistic displays the average maximum monthly temperature in Germany over the past 20 years. It shows that over the past twenty years the month with the highest average maximum temperature has been July, with an average temperature of **** degrees Celsius. On average, January has been the coldest month.

In 2023/2024, the average winter temperature in Germany was *** degrees Celsius. That winter was part of a growing list of warmer winters in the country. Figures had increased noticeably compared to the 1960s. Warmer in the winter Everyone has a different perception of what actually makes a cold or warm winter, but the fact is that winter temperatures are, indeed, changing in Germany, and its 16 federal states are feeling it. Also in 2022/2023, Bremen and Hamburg in the north recorded the highest average figures at around 4 degrees each. The least warm states that year, so to speak, were Thuringia, Saxony, and Bavaria. The German National Meteorological Service (Deutscher Wetterdienst or DWD), a federal office, monitors the weather in Germany. Global warming Rising temperatures are a global concern, with climate change making itself known. While these developments may be influenced by natural events, human industrial activity has been another significant contributor for centuries now. Greenhouse gas emissions play a leading part in global warming. This leads to warmer seasons year-round and summer heat waves, as greenhouse gas emissions cause solar heat to remain in the Earth’s atmosphere. In fact, as of 2022, Germany recorded **** days with a temperature of at least 30 degrees Celcius, which was more than three times the increase compared to 2021.

This document describes the monthly cooling degree hours calculated from public station data from the DWD Climate Data Center (CDC). The monthly cooling degree hours are calculated in accordance with DIN EN ISO 15927-6 as the cumulative hourly temperature differences between the air temperature and the reference temperature. Monthly cooling degree hours are calculated for the reference temperatures of 13, 16 and 18 degrees Celsius and stored in individual directories. Only those hours are counted that have an hourly air temperature value that is greater than the reference temperature. The data in the "historical" index are calculated monthly cooling degree days and cooling degree hours (cooling hours) from actual data that has passed the full quality control check. Monthly cooling degree hours (cooling degree hours) are only calculated for the stations for which all hourly values ​​of the air temperature of a month are available. The data comes from DWD stations and partner network stations that are legally and qualitatively equivalent. It should be noted that the cooling degree hours can only be used for an initial estimate of the cooling requirement/adjustment of the energy requirement, since for cooling, in addition to the temperature used here, other influencing variables such as humidity, enthalpy or solar radiation play a major role ( ISO 15927, sheet 6; VDI 3807, sheet 1).

This dataset contains outputs from two runs of a coupled atmosphere-ocean model at DKRZ in Hamburg. The runs were made in 1990 and they include a control run and an IPCC Scenario A run. We received 100 years of monthly 10-year climatologies of 2m temperature, precipitation, net surface solar radiation, and reflected surface solar radiation in GRIB0 format. We also received outputs from 100-year transient runs (control, IPCC Scenario A, and IPCC Scenario D). These included monthly means of 59 parameters at the surface and 15 isobaric levels. We were notified in May 1993 that there was a problem with the vertical interpolation in those runs, so the data are no longer in our public distribution, but they remain in our archive.

The grids were derived from data from the DWD stations and qualitatively equivalent partner network stations in Germany, taking into account the altitude dependencies. pdf

The secular record of annual mean temperatures of Bremen shows that inhomogeneities - especially caused by station transfers - lead to serious problems concerning the interpretation of climatic trends or fluctuations. Especially two transfers of the meteorological observing station in Bremen within our century - 1935/36 and 1978 - caused significant inhomogeneities, well documented by parallel measurements for several years. Obviously the stagnation of the temperature level of the original data set is a result of these transfers. The homogenized record version reveals a significant warming trend of about 1 Kelvin within the last century.

May 2025 saw an average temperature of **** degrees Celsius for Hamburg, Germany. This was roughly ***** percent lower than May 2024.
