What are temptures in Germany like June-August?

Question

I am going to be there as a summer homestay student and I also want to know what they do in the summer for fun?

Answer 1

Temperature varies depending on where you are, it's a big country. Highs of 22C+ are not unknown.

Answer 2

It's warm and nice, but sometimes rainy and thunderstorms.

Answer 3

Have a look at the map. The higher the area, the lower the temperatures. While in June to August, you can't be wrong anywhere in Germany, as temperatures are usually around 22+ celsius, there are still differences. On the coast in the north, it may be a little colder, and you might experience temperatures as low as 14c there, while in the lower Rhineland ("Niederrhein"), as e.g. Freiburg im Breisgau, temperatures may be higher. That's Germany's warmest region, as a matter of fact. Also, upper Bavaria ("Oberbayern", the region around Munich) tends to be quite warm, and of course the flatlands around Berlin, our capital city. Actually, there was one summer when the asphalt got boiling, with temperatures soaring around 42 degree.

What do you do in summer for fun? Well, jump into a lake and swim. Mostly in Berlin, you can do it completely undressed, that literally means: stark naked, without any complaints from other visitors, and free of entry charges. You can't do that in a public bath, so most people go to a "Weiher" (the German word for a small lake) to enjoy their time there, go swimming, have barbecues, and so on. That's the favorite summer pastime.

There's also a real cheap offer by Deutsche Bahn (German railways): You can buy a weekend ticket at a very small price and use the slow trains to visit places of interest. There is a ticket for a single person as well as one that is valid for up to five persons, with only a slight differnce in price (count 30 euros in, but divided by five, what the heck?), so you can see everything you probably want to see. Trains may be overcrowded, because everybody wants to use that on special events, but just cram yourself in.

I'd just recommend you don't put your life on a schedule. There are no "must-sees", and the locals will show you the places THEY like, and maybe you like them, too. Don't get yourself too busy about wanting to see too much of everything. Maybe, if you've had a good time, you'll return some day.

Answer 4

I am from Germany, and so I can tell you that its warm in this time (25-30 Celsius). I live in the Southwest (Stuttgart Region)

Answer 5

Anything between 15 to 35 degrees is possible. Mostly you'll have temperatures in the 21-28 range, but nothing is guaranteed.

Answer 6

Summer temperatures usually range between 22 and 30°C. Prolonged heat waves with temperatures up to 35°C are also possible. It is - usually - warmer in southern Germany.

Where are you gonna stay?

Have fun ;)
