How these figures are worked out

Monthly averages — multi-year historical data, not a standard 30-year climate normal or a forecast. Gold months are the best weather fit: each month scores on how close its average daily high sits to about 27 °C, with heavy rainfall counting against it, and months far outside that range are not ranked at all.

How we work this out

What each season is like

Spring
April to May warms from around 8°C to 13°C on average as beer gardens open, though this is also when rainfall starts climbing toward the year's wettest months — good for balanced indoor-outdoor trips, less reliable for planning a rain-free day.
Summer
June to August is the warmest stretch, averaging 19–20°C, but also the wettest three months of the year (each averaging well over 100mm of rain) alongside festivals and busy beer gardens — pack for showers even in July.
Autumn
September to November cools from around 15°C to 5°C; accommodation and transport can feel strained in late September, and rainfall stays elevated into September before easing.
Winter
December to February is cold, averaging around 1–3°C, but Christmas markets and museums keep trips feasible if you prioritise indoor time over park life; this is the driest run of months in Munich's year.

Good to know about Munich

Why go

  • Altstadt-Lehel puts most classic sights within a tight walking radius, efficient for short first visits.
  • Maxvorstadt concentrates major museums, simplifying culture-heavy itineraries compared with more dispersed cities.
  • Schwabing and Glockenbachviertel provide calmer or more social local bases than the tourist-heavy old town core.

Worth knowing

  • Accommodation and flights can be expensive around major events such as Oktoberfest, reducing value for short breaks.
  • The old town can feel heavily touristed, especially during peak weekends and holidays.
  • Munich's summer months carry the heaviest rainfall of the year, so a June-to-August trip is warm but not reliably dry.
