In Germany, the Deutsche Wetterdienst forecasts calm and mild weather for the upcoming weekend, with temperatures reaching up to 16 degrees Celsius. Meteorologist Marcel Schmid highlights that due to a southwestern airflow, the country will be infused with gentle and warm air, creating favorable conditions without concerns over snow or slippery roads. Such pleasant weather marks the onset of the meteorological spring on Sunday, indicating a stable transition into warmer seasons.

Meteorologists separate the year into four distinct seasons for statistical purposes, each lasting three months. This differs from the astronomical seasons determined by actual solar positions, with the latter indicating that the official start of spring will not occur until March 20th. For now, the prevailing high-pressure system is in place, setting the stage for clear skies and comfortable temperatures that symbolize the arrival of spring.

As we embrace this mild spring-like weather, it’s also essential to remain mindful of the potential for nighttime frost in some areas, reminding residents that while the days may be warmer, nighttime temperatures can still dip. This combination of conditions makes for a typical early spring experience in Germany, marked by the beautiful interplay of sun and chill that characterizes the transition from winter.
