The climate of Wuppertal (Germany)
Wuppertal is located in the western part of Germany in the
federal state of North Rhine Westphalia. Wuppertal was founded in
1929 when several cities merged. Nowadays it is the largest city in
the region. Wuppertal is known for the Wuppertal Schwebebahn which
is a monorail. This monorail follows the flow of the Wupper River
which flows through the city. Several beautiful museums and a zoo
are situated in Wuppertal. Wuppertal has a maritime climate with
cool summers and mild winters. Depressions arriving from the west
run into the first obstacles here, hills with an altitude of 350
meters. Because of this clouds are pushed up toward cooler layers of
air which causes rain. The valleys can record 1,100 millimeters of
annual precipitation, the higher situated regions get 1,200
millimeters of annual precipitation. Wuppertal gets fewer hours of
annual sunshine than other regions in Germany.

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:
