Erfurt — Weather today

Erfurt is in central Germany, in the state of Thuringia, set in the Thuringian Basin on the Gera River. A 24 hour forecast is useful here because weather can shift between the compact old town, open squares, parks and nearby valley landscapes. Cloud cover, wind, visibility and short rain showers can change enough during the day to affect walks, commuting and outdoor plans.

Erfurt is usually classified as having a temperate oceanic climate in the Koppen system (Cfb), with some continental influence. Summer daytime temperatures often sit around 22-25°C (72-77°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, sleet, icy streets and brief snow periods.

Before visiting Erfurt Cathedral, Kramerbrucke, the Old Synagogue, Petersberg Citadel, egapark or the old town lanes, check temperature, wind and precipitation. The hourly forecast helps choose a good time for walks across bridges, squares, museum streets, gardens and evening routes when rain, cold wind or fog may quickly change plans.
