Laiks Frankfurtē
Frankfurte nav pazīstama ar lieliskiem laikapstākļiem, taču ir daudz siltu, saulainu dienu. Pilsētā valda mērens okeāna klimats un četri atšķirīgi gadalaiki.2
Pēc garās, aukstās ziemas Frankfurte ir tik ļoti gatava pavasarim ( frühling ). Kad saule sāk caurdurt mākoņu segu, temperatūra ātri paaugstinās līdz 50–65 grādiem F. Joprojām ir lietainas dienas, bet vēsums atstāj gaisu.
Vasarā Frankfurte ir viena no siltākajām vietām valstī, kur vidējā temperatūra ir aptuveni 75 °F, bet var sasniegt arī 90 F. Frankfurtē ir labāks gaisa kondicionētājs nekā lielākajā daļā valsts, taču tas joprojām ir salīdzinoši reti sastopams. Jūnijs ir gada saulainākais mēnesis, taču nekad nav izslēgts lietus. Rudens ( zāles ) ir laiks, kad lietas sāk atdzist. Temperatūra svārstās no zemās 40 s līdz 50 s F līdz īstajam aukstumam novembra beigās, kad vējš pieņemas spēkā un var lidot sniegpārslas.
Ziemas centrā temperatūra var noslīdēt zem nulles. Vidējā zemākā temperatūra pazeminās līdz 25 grādiem F, un sniegs parasti notiek vairākas reizes sezonā, lai gan tas neuzkrājas bieži. Ledus ir plaši izplatīts, tāpēc ņemiet līdzi neslīdošus zābakus un esiet uzmanīgi, braucot.
