Dortmund — Weather today

Dortmund is in North Rhine Westphalia, in the eastern Ruhr area, among urban districts, parks, former industrial sites and the valleys of small rivers. A 24 hour forecast is useful here because frequent cloud, westerly wind, summer showers, winter dampness and differences between the dense centre, green districts, open squares and areas around Phoenix Lake can quickly affect plans.

Dortmund is usually classified as having a temperate oceanic climate in the Koppen system (Cfb). Summer daytime temperatures often sit around 22-25°C (72-77°F), while winter is commonly about 3-6°C (37-43°F). Rain is possible all year, with no clear dry season: summer more often brings short showers and thunderstorms, while winter may bring rain, wet snow, ice and chilly wind, and spring and autumn can change quickly.

Before walking to St Reinold's Church, the Dortmunder U cultural centre, Westfalenpark, Signal Iduna Park stadium, Hansaplatz, Westenhellweg shopping street, Phoenix Lake or former industrial quarters, check temperature, wind, rain, UV and visibility. The hourly forecast helps plan city centre walks, museum visits, parks, football matches and evening routes.
