Weather in Frankfurt

Best time to visit

Frankfurt, Germany's economic powerhouse, has a temperate oceanic climate which is generally mild with moderate seasonal changes. The city has 12 to 16 rainy days a month on the average. With a packed calendar of events throughout the year, Frankfurt is a year-round destination and there really isn’t a bad time to visit.

Spring (March to May) sees the temperatures climb quickly from 10°C (50°F) in March to 20°C (68°F) by May.

Summer (June to August) is warm and occasionally wet, and temperatures can reach 30°C (90°F). The city's biggest events take place during summer months. The river banks transform into a huge waterside extravaganza for Mainfest in August, before the Museum Embankment Festival attracts some 3-million culture vultures a few weeks later.

Autumn (September to November) is mild with average high temperatures of 20°C (68°) in September. During this season, Frankfurt hosts a series of trade fairs including the Frankfurt Book Fair which is the world’s largest trade fair for books.

Winter (December to February) is mild and can be rainy. Temperatures hover around 2.5°C (36.5°F) in December. Frankfurt also hosts one of Germany's largest traditional Christmas markets from mid-November and throughout December so it's a lovely time to visit.
