Rain days are the days with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts them.

Crowds is a score out of 100 where higher is quieter. It counts public-holiday clusters in PE as well as at Munich, which is why this table differs from the same one read from another country. A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. Crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

How busy it gets

Busiest from July to September; quietest in January and February.

The year in Munich

Winter can be quite cold, with temperatures often dropping below freezing. Munich enjoys a continental climate, so visit during late spring or summer for the best weather.

Busiest
early Sep to late Oct — Autumn brings beautiful foliage and Oktoberfest, attracting many tourists.
early Dec to late Dec — Christmas markets draw large crowds during this festive time.
Quieter, still good
early Jun to late Aug — Summer weather is pleasant and busy, but pricing is more moderate than during peak autumn.
early Mar to late May — Spring has milder temperatures and fewer tourists, offering better value.
early Nov to late Nov — Late autumn is quieter with lower prices, yet still mild.
Worth timing for
Oktoberfest, September to October, movable — Increases tourist numbers and prices significantly.
Christmas Markets, December, lunar — Closes certain areas and raises accommodation prices.
Watch out for cold spells; occasional heavy rain

Written by a language model from the climate figures above. The month-by-month table is measured — ten years of ERA5 readings and published holiday calendars — and where the two disagree, the table is the one to believe.
