The climate of Mannheim (Germany)
Mannheim is located in the southwestern part of Germany in the federal
state of Baden-Wurttemberg. Mannheim is located at the confluence of
the Rhine and the Neckar. The Neckar discharges here into the Rhine
and is then called the Rhine. Mannheim is unusual among German
cities in that its streets and avenues are laid out in a grid
pattern, leading to its nickname "die Quadratestadt" ("city of the
squares"). Most American cities are also built in this pattern.
Despite the fact that the city was destroyed during the 17th century
and suffered a lot from WWII there are still many attractions in the
city. The oldest theater in Germany, national Theater Mannheim is
situated in the city. Since its opening several plays by Christoph
Friedrich von Schiller have been performed here. The city has always
been close to this artist. Mannheim has a moderate maritime climate
and is located in the warmest region of Germany. During the summer
temperatures may rise up to 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees
Fahrenheit). The highest temperature on record is 41 degrees Celsius
(106 degrees Fahrenheit). During the summer humidity figures in
Mannheim are higher than in other German cities. Even during the
coldest months snowfall is uncommon. Most precipitation falls during
thunderstorms which are not uncommon here. On average about 50
thunderstorms can be recorded in Mannheim.

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:
