Kiel — Weather today

Kiel is in northern Germany, in Schleswig Holstein, on the Kiel Fjord by the Baltic Sea. A 24 hour forecast is especially useful here because the port, ferries, marinas, beaches and open waterfronts can feel much windier and wetter than sheltered streets. Cloud cover, wind gusts, visibility and conditions near the water can change quickly through the day.

Kiel is usually classified as having a temperate oceanic climate in the Koppen system (Cfb), with strong maritime influence. Summer daytime temperatures often sit around 19-22°C (66-72°F), while winter is commonly about 0-4°C (32-39°F). Precipitation is possible all year, often as passing rain, and the Baltic setting brings windy weather, damp air, fog, winter sleet and occasional short snow periods.

Before walking along the Kiel Fjord, the Kiellinie waterfront, the Maritime Museum, the Old Town Hall, Schilksee beach or travelling to the Kiel Canal, check temperature, wind and precipitation. The hourly forecast helps choose a good time for waterfront walks, ferries, marinas, museums and evening routes when rain, strong wind or fog may quickly change plans.
