Potsdam — Weather today

Potsdam is in eastern Germany, in Brandenburg, near Berlin, among branches of the Havel River and lakes. A 24 hour forecast is useful before walks by the water, through palace parks, along open avenues and across bridges. Cloud cover, wind near the lakes, visibility, precipitation and temperature can shift through the day, and fog or icy patches can form quickly in winter.

Potsdam is usually classified as having a temperate oceanic climate in the Koppen system (Cfb), with continental influence. Summer daytime temperatures often sit around 23-26°C (73-79°F), while winter is commonly about -2 to 4°C (28-39°F). Precipitation is possible all year, summer more often brings showers and thunderstorms, and winter can bring frost, fog, sleet, icy surfaces and short snow periods.

Before visiting Sanssouci Park, Sanssouci Palace, the New Palace, the Dutch Quarter, Cecilienhof Palace, Babelsberg Park or Glienicke Bridge, check temperature, wind and precipitation. The hourly forecast helps choose a good time for parks, museums, lake routes and evening walks when rain, heat, fog, snow or cold wind may quickly change plans.
