As Berlin's largest and most water-rich district, Treptow-Köpenick has a distinctly different climate from the city center. The huge Müggelsee lake and the extensive forests of the Köpenicker Forst act as a natural air conditioner. An hourly forecast is essential for anyone wanting to engage in water sports, hike, or cycle here.
In spring, the water of the lakes warms up slowly, which keeps the air cooler than in the city. In summer, Müggelsee becomes the center for sailors and swimmers. The hourly wind forecast is crucial for water sports enthusiasts. At the same time, the large lake is a "thunderstorm magnet." The risk of sudden, severe storms is particularly high here. The rain radar should always be monitored.
In autumn, the temperature difference between the still-warm lake water and the cold air is ideal for the formation of dense fog, which can often last all morning. In winter, it is often colder in the forests than in the city, and snow stays longer. When Müggelsee freezes over, it becomes a huge ice rink for skaters and ice sailors. An accurate hourly temperature forecast is then vital for survival.
