Berlin weather comparison 2025 2026: Berlin is the most searched city on wettervergleich.de. That's hardly surprising, the capital has a distinctive continental climate with hot summers, cold winters, and marked year-to-year variability. A data-driven look back at 2025 and the first months of 2026 reveals just how different two consecutive years can be.
The meteorological year 2025 was mild for Berlin and overall drier than the long-term average. Summer 2025 brought two brief heatwaves in July with peak temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius, but was broadly moderate. Total precipitation fell below average. Winter 2025 was also above average mild: frost days were rare, snowfall largely absent. Mild westerly weather patterns dominated instead.
The year 2026 opened with a sharp contrast. January 2026 was cold, at times temperatures in Berlin stayed below minus five degrees for days, with a genuine snow cover lasting several weeks. February normalized again before March delivered one of the warmest months ever recorded in Berlin's weather history. The reason for this jump: the blocking high over Central Europe, which we examine in detail in the spring 2026 article at /en/blog/spring-2026-warm.
