Munich experiences a continental climate with distinct seasons, where Alpine winds and proximity to the mountains create weather that shifts without much warning.

Rainfall is distributed throughout the year with a notable peak in summer when thunderstorms roll in from the Alps, making waterproof layers essential even in warm months.

Temperatures range from around -3°C in January to 24°C in July, though Föhn winds can unexpectedly push winter temperatures well above freezing.

Humidity remains moderate, but the wind factor is significant—cold northern blasts in winter and warm Alpine Föhn winds create conditions that feel quite different from what the thermometer suggests.

Layering is the local religion here, as a sunny beer garden afternoon can turn into a damp, chilly evening faster than you can finish a Maß.
