Berlin in September. Hows the weather?
Hey worldly people,I'm coming from Washington, DC and going to be doing 4 days and 4 nights in Berlin from Sept 13 - 17th.
What is the weather like in early-mid september there?
I'm trying to make smart decisions regarding what too pack, as this is the second stop along a 3 week trip through Europe.
Also, I wouldnt mind pointers of the best non-touristy things to experience.
Thanks,
TravellerDLW

Google 'Berlin average weather' and you get this chart:http://www.weather.com/weather/wxclimatology/monthly/graph/GMXX0007

the best non-touristy things - what do you mean?If you will not visit this city like anybody else who come for some days walk in the streets, take the subway or other local transport, sit down the day over in a park or at the bank near the Havel, visite the incinerator for garbage, have a look at the Marlene Dietrich tomb, spend the night in a theatre, opera or cinema and so on.

One of the most interesting and at the same time most non-touristy places to go in Berlin is Hohenschönhausen. Now a memorial, it used to be a prison for political prisoners in former East Germany.http://en.stiftung-hsh.de/document.php?cat_id=CAT_232&special=0
The weather is impossible to predict now. Snow is highly unlikely, anything else is possible, an umbrella is a must.

If you have decent weather and want a quiet afternoon and a country walk, then buy a ticket valid for zones A B and C Take an S3 S-bahn train eastbound, alight at Rahnsdorf, outside the station catch a tram 87 down to Woltersdorf terminus and you're by the lakes and woods that most foreign tourists don't get to see. The journey takes about an hour or so from central berlin. There used to be a good cake shop by the tram terminus at Woltersdorf too - anyone know if it is still there??9
S3 S-bahn train eastbound, alight at Rahnsdorf....destination written on the train is Erkner. Woltersdorf is outside Berlin and belongs to the state Brandenburg.10
Do an underground expedition of the collapsed Humboldthain Bunker in the district of Wedding. Check this website for info and possibilities: www.berliner-unterwelten.deVisit Gleis 17 memorial at Grunewald S-Bahn station. From here people were deported to Auschwitz and other camps.
Take a city train to Marzahn and see the housing blocks of the 60's.

Well, the weather in Berlin is not very stable, thus, the average values in the tables may be a bit misleading. In September, you can can anything between beautiful late summer days with 25 degrees to all-day rain at 12 degrees. Anyway, nights tend to be chilly, so be prepared.
