Our guide to the weather in Germany during February
Germany offers a variety of attractions and activities for visitors, particularly in the warmer months. February can be chilly, so wrap up warm and plan indoor activities. We've looked at the most up-to-date weather data for Germany, covering the last 12 years up to 2024, plus we've asked our team of travel bloggers for their first-hand experiences in order to answer the most frequently asked questions about Germany weather in February.
How cold is it in Germany during February?
It's cold in Germany during February. The temperature tops out at around 4℃ during the day, falling away to -2℃ at night. Brrrr! The UV index will be low at this time of year, so not something to worry about. However, if you're going to be outside for long periods it's always a good idea to apply a small amount of sunscreen to exposed skin.
Does it snow in Germany during February?
Yes, although it doesn't snow as much as you might expect. It's worth checking the local forecast a few days before you leave home so that you can pack appropriate footwear and clothing.
Does it rain in Germany during February?
On average, there will be 8 rainy days during the month, amounting to 56.8mm in total. That's broadly comparable with the amount of rain we see in England during the summer months, and would be considered dry. Of course, some of that rain will actually fall as sleet, snow, and possibly freezing rain. There's a small chance that you'll catch a thunderstorm during your trip.
Is it windy in Germany during February?
You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a light breeze that picks up slightly at times in February. With cold air temperatures at this time of year, any breeze will feel very cold.
