The most comfortable months in terms of weather are September, June and May. Even during the warmest month of the year, July, temperatures typically stay lower than 85 degrees. In January, the coolest month, temperatures are rarely lower than 25 degrees. 
  • When compared to the state and the nation, Germantown’s crime rates are very low. Violent crimes are 97.89% lower than the national average, and the overall crime rate is 85.41% lower. Compare this to Maryland’s crime rates,  with violent crimes 40.96% higher than the national average and an overall crime rate that’s 24.91% higher.
