Traveller notes on Freiburg in November
Other months in Freiburg
Freiburg's forum calls it Germany's warmest and sunniest city, so odds of good September weather are better than most of the country, though the region is genuinely capable of a rainy, cool spell any time of year. Regulars note September is a pleasant month in the surrounding wine country as the grapes ripen, and recommend layers since daytime highs can swing widely from one week to the next.
