Merano is on the borderline between several climates. Officially, it has an [[oceanic climate]] (''Cfb''). However, it is close to being [[Humid subtropical climate|humid subtropical]] (''Cfa'') due to the mean temperature in July being just under 22&nbsp;°C; even on those terms, the overnight lows in the winter bring the mean temperatures low enough for the city as a whole to have [[Continental climate|continental]] (''Dfa/Dfb'') influences with more distinct seasons.

The average daily temperatures in summer in Merano lie between 27 and 30&nbsp;°C, while at night temperatures usually drop to between 12 and 15&nbsp;°C. The average daily temperatures in winter lie between 6 and 10&nbsp;°C, while at night temperatures usually drop to between -4 and -2&nbsp;°C. The wettest month is August with 96&nbsp;mm, while the driest is February with only 25&nbsp;mm. This data was measured at the weather station Merano/Gratsch at an altitude of 333 metres between 1983 and 2017.
