How often does it rain in Munich?
Munich records around 1063mm of rain a year, spread across about 158 days — roughly 43% of all days, or 13 days in an average month. In practice that makes rain a regular feature of running in Munich rather than an exception — close to one day in two. A decent waterproof and a peaked cap earn their place in the kit bag year-round.
The wettest month is May, averaging 130mm across about 16 rainy days. The driest is March, with 61mm over roughly 12 days. Average lows in January drop to -2.8°C, cold enough that gloves, a headband and a thermal base layer make a real difference on early runs. Summer highs peak around 24.3°C in July, comfortable for most daytime running.
Those are ten-year averages, not a forecast. What actually matters on the day is the next twelve hours — which is what the live verdict and hourly strip at the top of this page are for.
