Berlin - Post Report Question and Answers
What is the overall climate: is it extremely hot or cold, wet or dry, at any time of year, for example?
Pretty temperate. It hasn't gotten either too cold or too hot while I've been here. Don't expect snow in winter - that's what Bavaria is for. - Aug 2023
Four seasons. The winters are rainy and depressing. The summers can be very nice, but you have to be prepared for at least several weeks per summer where temperatures are in the 90s and there is no A/C at home (unless you buy your own portable units). - May 2018
Very, very grey in winter. Days are dark and short. But summer is great. - Feb 2018
Berlin is much wetter and has higher winds than I was anticipating. Rain boots and a coat with a hood are must-haves. - Jan 2018
Winters can be cold and snowy, but not always. Weather is pleasant for most of the year. Summer is miserable with no air conditioning. You will want to go buy a A/C unit for the hottest part of the year. - Jul 2015
Like I said earlier. Really only two seasons. Long, dark Winter. And long, warm, sunny summer. - Aug 2013
Berlin is fairly far north, so it is cool year-round. The last two winters there was tons of snow, but this winter has been much more grey and rainy. - Dec 2011
