The weather in Grand Rapids, Michigan is varied. Sometimes it doesn't rain for weeks and sometimes all it does is rain. Occasionally, we get a nice Fall breeze, or even an actual Fall season, but even then it is rare. Wetter in Deutschland appears to be about the same. According to About Germany, "Frequent changes of weather make forecasting difficult." That sounds exactly like Michigan. One primary difference would be general temperature in the summer and winter months. In Germany, Summer tempuratures are generally around 20-30 degrees celcius (68-86 degrees fahrenheit). Just today in Michigan, in what is supposed to be Fall, it is currently (at 6:50pm) 83 degrees fahrenheit. That's really hot, if you didn't know.
Personally, if it's really hot outside, I'm staying inside. I would prefer to not walk or ride a bike anywhere, and instead take a car with air conditioning to my job. Most people avoid hot foods on hot days and cold food on cold days, but I've heard that in some European countries, people do the opposite in order to "regulate body tempurature".
