Month-by-Month Guide
January
January is the coldest month in Brno, with temperatures typically ranging from freezing to just above. You'll likely encounter some snow, and the city has that quiet, grey winter atmosphere—though the Christmas decorations might still be up early in the month. It's proper coat-and-scarf weather, and daylight hours are limited.
February
February stays cold but you'll notice the days getting slightly longer toward the end of the month. Temperatures remain below or just above freezing most of the time, and while snow is possible, it tends to be that slushy, grey kind rather than picturesque. Indoor attractions like museums and the underground tunnels are particularly appealing this month.
March
Spring starts making tentative appearances in March, though it's definitely still jacket weather. Temperatures climb into the upper 40s, and you'll get those first genuinely pleasant days mixed in with chilly, grey ones. The city starts feeling more alive as people emerge from winter hibernation, and early spring flowers begin appearing in parks.
April
April brings proper spring weather to Brno, with temperatures reaching the comfortable 60°F mark and trees fully leafing out. It's that lovely time when outdoor cafés start filling up again and you can explore the city without heavy layers. Rain showers are possible but tend to be brief, and the longer daylight hours make it feel like the city is waking up.
May
May is genuinely lovely in Brno—temperatures hit the upper 60s, everything is green and blooming, and the city feels vibrant without being crowded. You'll notice the rainfall picks up a bit compared to earlier months, but it's usually afternoon showers rather than all-day rain. This is prime time for exploring the surrounding countryside and Moravian wine regions.
June
Summer arrives in June with warm temperatures in the mid-70s and long, bright days that stretch well into the evening. It's the wettest month of the spring-summer period, but the rain tends to come as afternoon thunderstorms that clear quickly. The city's parks and outdoor spaces are at their best, and festival season kicks into gear.
July
July brings peak summer warmth with temperatures typically reaching the upper 70s—warm but not oppressively hot. The humidity is noticeable but manageable, and occasional afternoon thunderstorms provide relief. This is high season for tourists, so popular attractions will be busier, but the long daylight hours and lively atmosphere make up for it.
August
August maintains July's warm temperatures and feels like peak summer, though you might notice evenings starting to cool off slightly toward the end of the month. Rainfall remains fairly consistent with occasional thunderstorms, and the city has that relaxed late-summer vibe as some locals head on vacation. It's still excellent weather for exploring both the city and surrounding areas.
September
September is one of Brno's best months, honestly—temperatures drop to the comfortable upper 60s, the summer crowds thin out, and there's that lovely early autumn light. The weather is generally stable with less rainfall than summer months, making it ideal for walking tours and outdoor activities. Grape harvest season also means the wine regions are particularly appealing.
October
October brings proper autumn to Brno with temperatures in the mid-50s and leaves turning golden and rust-colored throughout the city's parks. You'll need a jacket most days, and the evenings get noticeably chilly. It's a beautiful time for photography and exploring the old town, though daylight hours are shortening and the weather can be variable.
November
November is when Brno really transitions into winter mode—temperatures drop into the 40s, skies tend to be grey, and there's that damp chill in the air. It's not the most glamorous month for visiting, but it's quiet, accommodation is cheaper, and toward the end of the month, Christmas markets start appearing. Definitely pack warm, waterproof layers.
December
December brings winter cold with temperatures hovering around freezing and the possibility of snow—which, if it arrives, makes the Christmas markets absolutely magical. The city is beautifully decorated, and the festive atmosphere compensates for the short days and chilly weather. After Christmas, things quiet down considerably as locals celebrate at home.
