Climate Chart of Leipzig, Germany

Climate overview

Temperature

Monthly mean temperature is lowest in January, at 2.0 °C, and reaches its highest point in July, at 20.5 °C. These are averages for each month, not daytime highs, so they describe the broad temperature pattern rather than the range a visitor may encounter during a day. The unweighted mean of the monthly mean temperatures is 10.9 °C. It summarises the calendar-month figures without weighting them by the number of days in each month.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall is lowest in April, at 1.15 mm/day, which may suit visitors whose priority is a lower monthly average. The highest monthly mean is in August, at 2.01 mm/day; rain preparation remains sensible, since these daily averages do not tell you how often rain falls or guarantee dry days in another month. The unweighted mean of the monthly mean daily rainfall figures is 1.61 mm/day. These are daily amounts, not monthly rainfall totals.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine reaches its highest level in June, at 11.63 hours/day, and its lowest in December, at 2.85 hours/day. The figures can help with outdoor-sightseeing plans, but sunshine duration is not the same as day length. The unweighted mean of the monthly mean daily sunshine durations is 7.48 hours/day. It gives an overview across calendar months, rather than a forecast for a particular visit.

Snow

The highest monthly mean daily snowfall is recorded in January, at 3.67 mm/day. The unweighted mean of the monthly mean daily snowfall figures is 0.92 mm/day. These averages indicate recorded snowfall amounts, but do not establish the number of snowy days, snow depth, snow cover or skiing conditions.
