Climate chart - Strasbourg
Strasbourg, the seat of the European Parliament and the capital of Alsace, in northeastern France, has a semi-continental climate, with cold winters and relatively warm summers. In fact, because of its eastern position, it has "German" climate, that is, that of the Rhine Valley, to which it belongs.

Precipitation amounts to 660 millimeters (26 inches) per year, so it's not abundant, but it's well distributed over the seasons, since Atlantic depressions can affect this area all year round. However, the rains are more abundant between May and September because of afternoon thunderstorms, which can erupt in the warm season.

Strasbourg

Winter, from December to February, is cold and gray, with average temperatures near freezing (0 °C or 32 °F). However, there are different weather situations. When the currents come from the Atlantic Ocean, temperatures are fairly mild, and highs can reach or exceed 10 °C (50 °F), in addition, it can rain and there can be a strong wind. When the atmosphere is more stable and the wind is weak, the temperatures are close to the average, and there can be fog and low clouds. On the other hand, when cold winds blow from Eastern Europe, the temperature drops below freezing and it can snow.
At times, there can be cold spells, in which temperatures can drop as low as -10 °C (14 °F) or even below. The coldest record is -23.6 °C (-10.5 °F) and was set in January 1942.

Spring, from March to May, is cool, unstable and moderately rainy. The season is initially cold, with possible snow and frost in March, and then it gradually becomes milder, but with some chance of cold periods still in April. In May, it can get cold, especially in the first half of the month, with lows close to freezing, but at other times, the first warm days can occur, especially in the second half of the month, when the first afternoon thunderstorms can occur as well.

In summer, from June to August, the temperatures are generally pleasant and lend themselves to outdoor activities, although sometimes there can be rains and thunderstorms.
At times, hot periods can occur, generally of short duration, which in recent years are becoming more frequent due to global warming, and in which the temperature can exceed 35 °C (95 °F). The highest record is 39 °C (102.2 °F) and was set in July 2019. In 2022, the temperature reached 34.6 °C (94.3 °F) in May, 38 °C (100.4 °F) in June, 38.4 °C (101.1 °F) in July and 38 °C (100.4 °F) in August.
