Planning a Trip to Strasbourg? Here's the Weather
See what weather to expect in Strasbourg, France and plan your trip with confidence. Monthly averages from real historical weather data.
Strasbourg sits in the Rhine plain with a proper four-season climate: July highs reach 26°C, January highs fall to 6°C, and rain is spread through the year with December the wettest at 89mm. That wet, cold end of the year is exactly when the Christkindelsmärik fills the cathedral square, so the Alsatian museums and winstubs matter as much as the stalls.
