Temperatures across the country are set to break the 25-degree-Celsius mark soon, though Sunday is still expected to be gloomy.

Showers and storms, which caused flooding in some parts of Saxony on Friday night, are expected to continue this weekend, but temperatures will reach 20 degrees Celsius on the northern coast, and up to 25 degrees in the upper Rhine region in southern Germany.

But the rain will subside on Sunday, and will be limited to the north-east of the country, and the skies will brighten on Monday. Temperatures are expected reach 23 degrees in the north and 26 degrees in the south through most of the week.

Pockets of rain and thunder could also move across the country from the west on Tuesday, reaching the east of the country by evening, but temperatures will stay relatively 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.
