Salzburg is part of the temperate zone.

The Köppen climate classification specifies

the climate as a humid continental climate (Dfb), however, with the −3 °C (27 °F)

isotherm for the coldest month, Salzburg can be classified as having four-

season oceanic climate with significant temperature differences between seasons.

Due to the location at the northern rim of the Alps, the amount of precipitation is

comparatively high, mainly in the summer months. The specific drizzle is

called Schnürlregen in the local dialect. In winter and spring, pronounced foehn

winds regularly occur.
