Cold and rainy November days ahead across the country

Coats and umbrellas are must-haves as Germany enters the second week of November: The German Weather Service's latest forecast includes plenty of rain, plus markedly colder – and even frosty – temperatures for the coming days.

“Two-digit high temperatures are the exception, and light frost is expected with clear skies at night,” the DWD predicted Saturday from its headquarters in Offenbach.

The low-pressure sytem “Anneli” is expected to bring plenty of rain to parts of Germany through Sunday and into next week – meaning mountain regions could see a few snowflakes.

Southern states are in for a wet and cloudy Sunday, with scattered showers and variable clouds on tap for central Germany. Temperatures there are expected to be noticeably cooler at 5 degrees Celsius and 12 degrees in southeastern Bavaria.

The DWD said northern cities would be graced with some Sunday sun, but predicted temperatures there would be coldest overnight.

More rain is in store for the south just before the work-week begins, with snow expected at higher elevations. Rain clouds are also in the forecast for western Germany, with cloudy weather further east.

On Monday, the DWD said the rain would also head east. Maximum temperatures of 4 degrees Celsius were expected in the upper Lausitz region and Vogtland, with highs of 9 degrees in the Upper Rhine region. Similar temperatures and rain patterns are expected for Tuesday.

‘Turbo spring’: Germany to see temperatures above 25C

Germany is set for a blast of warm weather in the coming week as the colder spell eases off.

'Turbo spring': Germany to see temperatures above 25C

“The late winter weather of the past few days with frost and snow is a thing of the past for the time being, and spring will kick into turbo gear over the next few days,” said meteorologist Adrian Leyser from the German Weather Service (DWD) on Friday.

Temperatures are expected to rise sharply over the weekend with plenty of sunshine, forecasters said. In Germany anything above 25C is classed as a summer day. “The summer mark of 25C will be cracked regionally as early as Sunday,” said Leyser.

It comes as snow and hail hit Germany last week, and temperatures fell below freezing in some places.

But showers and thunderstorms are still possible in the west and north of Germany. Maximum temperatures there are expected to reach around 20C. 

According to the DWD, spring will get a little damper on Monday, with a few rain spells.  “However, the next low pressure system over Western Europe is preparing to turn on the warm air jet again from Tuesday,” said the meteorologist.

On Wednesday – which is a public holiday across Germany for International Workers’ Day – temperatures could soar nearer 30C. 

“In the south and east, we are even approaching the 30C mark,” said Leyser. However, the weather will remain “susceptible to disruption”, said Leyser, especially in the west where there is a risk of isolated and sometimes severe thunderstorms.
