Temperatures up to 20 degrees: Is spring coming now?
Germany is expecting a sudden weather shift with temperatures possibly reaching 20 degrees Celsius next week, raising questions about the end of winter.
After weeks of frost and icy conditions, Germany is on the brink of a notable weather change as forecasts predict temperatures could rise to 20 degrees Celsius in parts of the country by mid-next week. While regions may experience another night of frost, particularly on Saturday, the Deutscher Wetterdienst anticipates a significant temperature increase over the weekend, with highs ranging from 5 to 10 degrees on Saturday and potentially reaching up to 16 degrees in the Upper Rhine area by Sunday.
Despite the rise in temperatures, spring-like feelings may be subdued due to persistent cloud cover and rainfall. Many areas could experience significant rain, with a strong southwest to west wind adding to the coolness. This weather pattern suggests that the respite from winter may not fully align with the warmer temperatures, as overcast skies and rain are set to dominate the weekend.
The potential shift towards warmer weather not only excites some residents longing for spring but also raises questions regarding how long this mild spell will last. The interplay of cold and warm weather characterized by one final frost and upcoming milder conditions could indicate a transitional phase in the seasonal cycle, hinting at the unpredictability of early spring in Germany.
