Germany in Summer
Summer is the height of the travel season to visit Germany. The temperatures are warmest in the South. It has a Mediterranean climate. Many exotic fruits are harvested from here, which is rare in Germany, because of the usually cold weather. From June to August the temperatures are warm, but not too hot. Also, a lot of rain is expected, so be sure to pack some wet weather clothing in case. Many people can be found at open air concerts, enjoying rides at fairs, seeing fireworks, and eating lots of food and drinks, which are often free at fairs.
