"Explore the impact of climate on heritage."
Munich has a continental climate, strongly modified by the proximity of the Alps. In general summers are fairly warm and very wet, prone to thunderstorms, while winters are cold with light snowfalls. The Alps cause two unique aberrations in the weather in Munich. South westerly winds crossing the Alps can bring warm Fhn conditions, during any season but only on a few days a year, pushing up temperatures markedly even in winter.
