Weather in February
February in
Germany is characterized by cold temperatures, closely mirroring the chilly conditions of
January. The eastern regions continue to be colder than their western counterparts, a consistent feature of Germany's climate. Daytime temperatures throughout February often struggle to rise above the freezing point, with some areas, especially in the eastern parts, enduring sub-zero conditions even during the day. The potential for Siberian cold waves remains, occasionally causing temperatures in certain regions, such as the valleys of Bavaria, to dive close to -20.6°C (-5.1°F). Conversely, the more temperate regions might register highs slightly above 0°C (32°F).
Cities near the coast, including Bremen and Lübeck, benefit from the maritime influence of the North and Baltic Seas, ensuring marginally milder conditions compared to inland cities like Dresden, which experience a more pronounced cold.
February, while still predominantly cold, witnesses a subtle increase in daylight, heralding the upcoming spring. Snowfall remains a dominant feature, with the highlands and mountain regions, especially the Alps, receiving ample snow. Locations like the Harz Mountains can see substantial snowfall, making February an ideal month for winter sports enthusiasts. In comparison to January, February's snowfall can occasionally be more intense, but as the month progresses, the initial hints of spring start to become evident, particularly in the latter part of the month.
