Berlin in northeast Germany experiences continental extremes with summers above 28°C and winters below -5°C, while Munich at the Alpine foothills boasts over 1700 sunshine hours per year and receives far more snow. The difference between the flat lowlands and the Bavarian pre-Alpine region shows up in almost every climate metric.

The comparison tool above stacks Berlin and Munich into the same time window. Pick a month from last year, a quarter from 2020, or a full summer, and both cities are scored on the same four metrics: temperature, sunshine, precipitation, and wind. Aggregation switches between day, week, and month depending on how granular you want the trace.
A side-by-side comparison surfaces differences that a single-city view hides. If Berlin and Munich sit in the same climate region, the gaps are small but both cities react similarly to weather patterns. If they sit further apart, coast versus inland or north versus south, regional effects show up directly in the numbers.
Both cities draw from the same dataset: the ECMWF ERA5 reanalysis archive, retrieved via the Open-Meteo archive API. Reanalysis means every available satellite and surface measurement is reconciled retrospectively and placed on a consistent grid. Values for Berlin and Munich are therefore directly comparable whether you look at 1970 or 2025.
