Meteorologists in Offenbach are predicting a cloudy Monday, with rain primarily to the south and east of the country. Further northwest, Germans could see a bit of sun, but fall is in the forecast, with temperatures ranging between 18 and 23 degrees Celsius.

Overnight, the DWD forecasts a break in the rain, making room for fog in the nighttime hours. Temperatures are set to drop even further to between 13 and 7 degrees, with milder weather along the coast.

A hint of the weekend sun is due to make an appearance on Tuesday, but the clouds are also expected to roll in over northwestern Germany, bringing rain in the afternoon. The DWD predicts a mix of sun and clouds to the south and east, with temperatures hovering between 17 and 23 degrees Celsius.

Those areas are among the few that will see some sun on Wednesday, with clouds in the forecast for the rest of the country and plenty of rain in central Germany.

By midweek, temperatures are due to settle between 16 and 21 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.
