October to end with mild weekend

Germany will get a brief break from the chilly autumn weather of recent weeks, with mild temperatures of up to 18 degrees – though there is some rain in the forecast too, the German Weather Service (DWD) said on Friday.

While Saturday may start of foggy, it will quickly dissolve for comfortable temperatures of between 13 and 18 degrees Celsius, with the warmest highs expected in the Rhineland region.

Later in the day clouds will take over and the western half of the country could see rainfall, the DWD predicted from its headquarters in Offenbach.

More rain is likely in the west overnight, but the east will remain mostly clear. Nighttime highs will range between 5 and 9 degrees.

Sunday morning will be foggy again, with more rain in the west and northwest regions of the country as the day continues. Highs will range between 11 and 16 degrees, with the lower Rhineland region again seeing the most pleasant temperatures, the DWD said.

On Monday the work week will begin with fog once again, with more changeable weather bringing some rain to the south of the country. Temperatures will remain mild, with highs between 10 and 15 degrees.

‘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.
