The climatic conditions in Germany, where Nik Linder is based, vary throughout the year. Water temperatures can be around 2.9 °C in January and peak at up to 21.1 °C in August. This means that for training, especially in the colder months, appropriate equipment such as a drysuit may be necessary. Precipitation levels also vary seasonally, with peaks in May (167.1 mm) and lower amounts in August (62.8 mm).
