Brief showers may fall on higher altitudes in the states of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, but the rest of the country will enjoy partly sunny conditions with a light breeze, weather service Meteomedia reported. Temperatures will range from 12 to 22 degrees Celsius (54 to 73 degrees Fahrenheit).

Residents can expect to welcome widespread sunshine while taking Friday off of work, though northern states can expect a few lazy clouds to float by with a slight chance of rain. Temperatures could reach as high as 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit).

Saturday will also be sunny with very little chance of rain, Meteomedia said. Temperatures will remain warm.

‘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.
