Hourly Weather in Cologne: Planning for the Cathedral and the Rhine

The weather in Cologne is typically Rhenish: mild but unpredictable. An hourly forecast is key to knowing whether your beer garden visit will stay dry or if a walk along the Rhine requires an umbrella.

The Morning in Cologne (6 AM - 12 PM)

Mornings in Cologne are often cloudy and mild. A light jacket is usually sufficient for the commute. The hourly forecast reveals if the sun is expected to break through.

Afternoon Weather Dynamics (12 PM - 6 PM)

It gets warmer in the afternoon, and on sunny days, the squares in the Old Town fill up. Stay updated, as a short but heavy "Cologne shower" is always a possibility.

Evening and Nighttime Forecast (from 6 PM)

Evenings by the Rhine can cool down quickly, even after a warm day. A sweater is standard equipment for an evening outdoors with a Kölsch. Our forecast helps with your planning.
