Usedom – What you should know
Usedom has the warmest Baltic water of the German Baltic islands: 21°C in August and 20°C in July — one to two degrees above Rügen. The reason lies in its more sheltered position in the southeast and the shallow coastal waters of the Szczecin Lagoon. Together with 23°C air temperature in July, that is the most dependable swimming combination on the German coast.
The island also does well on rainfall: April and March are very dry at 28 and 30 mm, and the annual total is lower than on Sylt or Rügen. July is the wettest month at 79 mm, which is moderate for a coastal summer. The imperial spas of Ahlbeck, Heringsdorf and Bansin and the continuous beach promenade are easy to plan around.
Winter, by contrast, is dark: 0.4 hours of sunshine a day in December and 0.7 in January are the lowest values among the German coastal destinations. From November to February, Usedom is a wellness and walking destination, not a place to find light. The season effectively begins in April, when sunshine duration jumps from 3.8 to 6.7 hours.
