Climate chart - Stuttgart
In Stuttgart, the capital of the state of Baden-Württemberg, located in southwestern Germany, the climate is slightly continental, with cold (but not freezing) winters and mild to pleasantly warm summers. The city is located in an area that would be the warmest of Germany, at least in the summer months, but the location is balanced out by the altitude, which is slightly higher than sea level, 250 meters (820 feet), and also by the proximity to the Black Forest. The airport is located at about 400 meters (1,300 feet), near Filderstadt.

Stuttgart

Precipitation is moderate, about 685 millimeters (27 inches) per year, and is quite common and well distributed over the seasons. However, the least rainy season is winter. Rain often falls in the form of a short shower or drizzle, while in late spring and summer, thunderstorms can break out in the afternoon. For this reason, the wettest period is from May to August.

Winter, from December to February, is cold: daytime temperatures are on average a few degrees above freezing (0 °C or 32 °F), while they are around freezing at night.
However, different weather situations can occur.
When the westerlies blow, the temperature can be quite mild, and can reach 10/12 °C (50/54 °F), but there may be wind and rain.
Under the influence of a high pressure system, the weather is cold, the sky is gray, and fog can form.
On the other hand, when the city is reached by cold air masses from Russia, the temperature drops below freezing, for longer or shorter periods, even during the day. The temperature rarely drops below -15 °C (5 °F), however, it can do it during very cold periods, which used to be more frequent in the past. The coldest record is -25.8 °C (-14.4 °F) and was set in December 1939.
Snowfalls in Stuttgart are quite frequent, though usually not abundant, and occur in the form of light snow, sometimes, however, snow can accumulate on the ground, and last for many days.

Spring, from March to May, is an unstable season.
On the one hand, northwesterly currents can bring cold periods, so much so that in March, and sometimes until mid-April, it can still snow. In addition, some cold days, with highs around 10 °C (50 °F), can still occur in May, especially in the first half of the month.
On the other hand, southwesterly currents can bring very mild or quite warm periods, with highs above 20 °C (68 °F) in April and above 25 °C (77 °F) in May.

Summer, from June to August, is mild. Atlantic disturbances can affect this area even in this season, bringing cool and rainy days, but there may also be some hot and sunny days, with temperatures reaching 28/30 °C (82/86 °F), however, with some risk of afternoon thunderstorms.
More rarely, there may be very hot periods, usually of short duration, which are becoming more frequent due to global warming. The highest record is 37.7 °C (99.9 °F) and was set in August 2003. In August 2020, the maximum temperature fluctuated between 32 and 34 °C (90 and 93 °F) for six consecutive days.

Autumn, from September to November, is initially pleasant in September, and sometimes also in early October (although there is no shortage of rainfall), then it gradually becomes more cold, dull, wet and windy. The first night frosts usually occur in November, but sometimes also in October. During calm nights, fog may form.

Stuttgart does not get a lot of sun in autumn and winter, in fact, the sun rarely shines from November to February. It goes a bit better in late spring and summer.

Best Time


The best time to visit Stuttgart runs from mid-May to mid-September, since it is the mildest of the year. July and August are the warmest months. However, it's better to bring a sweatshirt or sweater, a light jacket and an umbrella, for cool and rainy days.
