The climate of the Eifel (Germany)
The Eifel is a beautiful nature reserve in the southwestern part of
Germany. This nature reserve was formed during the latest ice age.
Beautiful forests grow on the hills. The region is very popular
among people who love the great outdoors. Several hiking paths and
mountain bike trails can be enjoyed and you can go rock climbing
here. A stay in this lusciously green environment will definitely
recharge you. The Eifel has a moderate maritime climate with fairly
high precipitation figures. Heavy rain and thunderstorms are not
uncommon. This is caused by air currents which warm up and cool down
in the hills. Summers are pleasant with moderate temperatures. The
region is very suitable for hiking because it doesn’t get too warm.
Winters are mild. However, subzero temperatures and snowfall may
occur. Only few days of subzero temperatures can be recorded
annually.

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:
