Magdeburg — Weather today

Magdeburg is in central Germany, in Saxony Anhalt, on the Elbe River. A 24 hour forecast is useful here because open riverfronts, bridges, island parks and broad urban spaces can feel windier, foggier and wetter than sheltered streets. Cloud cover, visibility, wind gusts and conditions for walks or city trips can shift through the day.

Magdeburg is usually classified as having a temperate oceanic climate in the Koppen system (Cfb), with noticeable continental influence. Summer daytime temperatures often sit around 23-26°C (73-79°F), while winter is commonly about -1 to 5°C (30-41°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 Magdeburg Cathedral, the Green Citadel, the Monastery of Our Lady, Rotehorn Park, the Elbe riverfronts or the Magdeburg water bridge area, check temperature, wind and precipitation. The hourly forecast helps choose a good time for riverside walks, museums, parks, trips and evening routes when rain, cold wind or fog may quickly change plans.
