The climate of Leipzig (Germany)
Leipzig is a city with a long history. This former East German city
suffered a lot during WWII. However, many buildings have been
restored after the war. The historic downtown area is a car-free
zone which makes it pleasant to stroll through the old streets and
passages. The stock exchange of Leipzig was founded in the 17th
century and was the decor of the marriage between William of Orange
and Anna of Saxony. Famous composers such as Bach and Mozart
performed here. Leipzig has a moderate maritime climate with small
differences in temperatures between summer and winter. During the
winter subzero temperatures may occur. However, in general winters
are mild. Precipitation figures are highest during spring and fall.
During the summer a warm wind may blow causing temperatures to rise.
During extremely hot days temperatures may reach 40 degrees Celsius
(104 degrees Fahrenheit).

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
