Weather in Munich

The weather in Munich is influenced by a continental climate, strongly modified by the proximity of the Alps. In general summers are fairly warm and very wet, prone to thunderstorms, while winters are cold with light snowfalls. The Alps cause two unique aberrations in Munich weather. South westerly winds crossing the Alps can bring warm conditions, during any season but only on a few days a year, pushing up temperatures markedly even in winter. When north-westerly winds blow from the mountains, however, weather conditions known as occur, most often in spring and summer, which bring unseasonably low temperatures, rain and even snow on odd days.
