Sunday set to bring back summer heat

July began with true summer weather, but this week long-faced Germans have had to contend with cool and rainy weather. Never fear, balmy biergarten weather is set to begin its slow return by the end of the weekend, German Weather Service (DWD) reported on Thursday.

Temperatures are set to slowly rise to culminate in a warmer Sunday, the DWD said from their headquarters in Offenbach.

As the weekend approaches, southern Germany will see warmer weather and sunshine. Temperature highs will reach between 16 and 24 degrees Celsius (61 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit).

Friday’s forecast is variable, including rain in northern Germany and showers and thunderstorms across the nation later in the day.

The weekend will remain rainy, with low temperatures between 8 and 13 degrees Celsius (46 and 55 degrees Fahrenheit) set to rise to between 18 and 22 degrees Celsius (64 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit) on Saturday.

Sunday showers are expected in central Germany, with rain possible in the north of the country. Temperatures are expected to stay between 20 and 24 degrees Celsius (68 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit).

‘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.
