Where to find sun from Hamburg
Hamburg's weather comes off the North Sea: mild for its latitude, windy, and slow to heat up. The coast is close, and it is the same air.
What you can reach
About 2 hours by car: Bremen (about 1 h 15), Hannover (about 2 h), Kiel (about 1 h 15), Luebeck (about 50 min).
Further, still inside 5 hours: Berlin (about 3 h 45), Copenhagen (about 4 h 15), Düsseldorf (about 4 h 45), Leipzig (about 4 h 15), Szczecin (about 4 h 15).
Inside a 4-hour door-to-door flight, and too far for that drive: Le Havre, Saint Peters, Leiden, St Helens. The places a short flight reaches are other North Sea and Baltic cities. Leave longer if you want a beach that is actually warm.
Car times are the straight-line estimate SunFinder starts from (~70 km/h), before a routed drive. A mountain road or a ferry takes longer. The flight circle is the same 4-hour limit the tool uses.
When to stay
A summer day on the North Sea is a trip, not a sunnier forecast than a good day in the city. In winter the sea is the grey part. Driving south across the German plain does not reach a different climate inside five hours.
