The climate of Mosel (Germany)
The Mosel is a very famous holiday destination among the Dutch. Cruise
ships sail from the city of Arnhem to this region on a daily basis.
A trip by car to this region is also an attractive option. The Mosel
region is characterized by the river and the high and steep slopes
on the banks. These steep slopes are ideal for winegrowing. There is
always a Weinfest going on somewhere in the region. Many vineyards
along the river provide wine tasting facilities. A bicycle path runs
along the river. This is an ideal way to explore the region,
especially when you are going to taste the wines. There are many
picturesque villages with timber frame houses in the region. The
café´s in these villages have terraces where you can enjoy Kaffee
mit Kuchen (Coffee with cake). The Mosel region has a moderate
maritime climate. This climate type is very favorable to all kinds
of vegetation. During the winter subzero temperatures are uncommon.
During the summer temperatures are around 20 degrees Celsius (68
degrees Fahrenheit). Extremely high or low temperatures can only be
recorded when an easterly wind blows. When this occurs sudden
changes in temperatures are not uncommon.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
