By the water
Maschsee & River Leine
Calm weather is ideal for a wide-open walk along Maschsee. On windy days, the exposed lakeside feels noticeably cooler than the city centre.
Hannover in any weather
Between the River Leine, Eilenriede forest and Maschsee lake, the city has places to explore in almost any conditions. Use the forecast to plan your day.
In the green
Eilenriede forest
The urban forest provides shade in summer and shelter during light rain. Please avoid wooded areas whenever storm warnings are active.
Garden culture
Herrenhausen Gardens
Sunshine brings out the garden’s long perspectives. For a longer visit, check the UV index, rain probability and daylight times.
City views
New Town Hall
Maschpark and the New Town Hall combine open lawns with sheltered paths. Clear visibility rewards visitors with broad views across Hannover.
Hanover
Why Hannover weather can change quickly
Hannover sits in northern Germany’s transition zone. Atlantic low-pressure systems often bring changing cloud, wind and showers, while summer can also deliver longer warm spells. The city, forest and large bodies of water may feel noticeably different at the same time. That is why this page combines forecasts, station observations and warnings rather than showing a single temperature.

How to use the forecast
For short trips, the hourly rain probability is especially useful. For days out, also check wind gusts, UV index and DWD warnings. Forecasts remain probabilities: the further away a day is, the more the situation may still change.
