Climate Chart of Leipzig, Germany

Climate overview

Temperature

Monthly mean temperatures peak at July with 20.5 °C, while the coolest monthly mean is January at 2.0 °C. These are averages for each month, not daytime highs or lows, so they describe the broad temperature profile rather than the range visitors may experience on individual days. Across the calendar months, the unweighted mean of the monthly temperature averages is 10.9 °C; it is not a day-weighted annual average.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall is highest in August, at 2.01 mm/day, and lowest in April, at 1.15 mm/day. These are daily averages within each month, not monthly rainfall totals, and the lower figure does not mean that every day is dry or indicate how often rain falls. The unweighted mean of the monthly mean daily rainfall figures is 1.61 mm/day, a summary across months rather than a day-weighted annual average.

Sunshine

Daily sunshine duration averages are greatest in June, at 11.63 hours/day, and least in December, at 2.85 hours/day. These figures describe average sunshine hours, not daylight length, and do not promise a particular amount of sun on an individual day. The unweighted mean of the monthly sunshine averages is 7.48 hours/day per day, which provides a broad reference rather than a day-weighted annual figure.

Snow

Snowfall averages are highest in January, at 3.67 mm/day per day; this is a daily mean, not a monthly total. Across the calendar months, the unweighted mean of monthly mean daily snowfall is 0.92 mm/day.
