Starting Friday, the whole of Germany is in store for dry weather, mostly clear skies and lots of sun, according to the German Weather Service (DWD).

There will, however, be a chance of frost during the night, as nighttime temperatures are expected to hit between 0C and -4C over the next 12 days.

DWD prediction for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday:

On Friday the west and south can expect temperatures in the day of between 14C and 18C, with the northeast reaching 10C to 14C, and 9C expected in coastal areas.

These conditions are set to continue for the next week at least, with the addition of small patches of clouds in the northwest and across the south.

The highest temperature over the next two weeks is expected to be 20C in the southwest between March 28th and 30th.

There is a chance of a little rain in north and east Germany between March 28th and March 30th, but the country should still enjoy very sunny weather overall. Wind and clouds in the north mean temperatures there will sway between 8C and 14C.

This won’t last forever though! The first week of April heralds cooler daytime temperatures, though the chance of frost during the night will decrease. This is to be accompanied by occasional rainfall.

‘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.
