The climate of Monschau (Germany)
Monschau is a small city located near the border with Belgium in
the federal state of North Rhine Westphalia on the upper reaches of
the Ruhr River. The city is a popular tourist destination among
Belgians and Dutch. Most tourists travel here to admire the
beautiful historic center of the city as well as the many sites in
the vicinity of the city. The most popular attractions in the
vicinity of the city include Monschau castle, a waldlehrpfad (forest
path), the Red House and a mustard mill. The Ardennes Culture
Boulevard in Belgium is only a few minutes by car. Just like the
rest of Germany Monschau has a moderate maritime climate with mild
winters and relatively cool summers. This is mainly caused by the
influence of the warm Gulf Stream. Because of this large differences
between the seasons are uncommon. Average temperatures during the
summer are only 18 degrees Celsius apart from the average
temperatures during the winter which is not much compared to other
climate types.

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:
