The climate of Duisburg (Germany)
Duisburg is a large city located centrally in the western part of the
federal state of North Rhine Westphalia. The city is located on the
spot where the Ruhr and the Rhine flow into each other. Duisburg is
an industrial city which flourished after WWII because of its coal
mines and iron and steel industries. The last coal mine closed in
2008. In Duisburg North Landscape Park which is a former blast
furnace complex a large amusement park is situated. Here you can go
rock climbing or scuba diving in an old gas tank. Duisburg itself
also offers several attractions such as the Salvador Church, the
Duisburg Zoo, the Lehmbruck Museum the Cubus Kunsthalle (art
gallery) and the Jewish civic center. Duisburg has a moderate
maritime climate influenced by the warm Gulf Stream from the west.
Because of this the climate of Duisburg is tempered. Winters are
cool, extreme cold is uncommon. Summers are pleasantly warm without
getting too hot. Precipitation is quite evenly spread out over the
year.

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:
