Spring Sun Graces Germany as DWD Notes Weekend Shift and Possible Late‑March Cold Push

Forecast models currently favor a milder Easter pattern, though some runs still point to a colder, wetter turn.

Overview

  • High LUKAS is delivering widespread sunshine and mild afternoons on Thursday, with highs commonly 13–19 °C and locally near 20–21 °C in the southwest, while coastal areas stay cooler.
  • Nights remain cold despite the daytime warmth, with DWD warning of frost down to around 0 to −5 °C in parts of the south and widespread ground frost, posing risks for sensitive plants.
  • Fresh to strong winds persist in exposed high terrain, with stürmische Böen on Black Forest peaks and earlier severe gusts around the Feldberg highlighting ongoing mountain hazards.
  • A weak front brings more cloud and a little rain to the north and east by Friday, and a high‑level cold‑core low turns the south unsettled this weekend with rain and some alpine snow, while the northwest stays brighter.
  • From about 24 March, several models signal a possible colder north‑flow with showers, graupel and a lower snow line—snow in lowlands is uncertain, and while one scenario even projects heavy stau snow in southern Bavaria, ensemble guidance still leans 55–65% toward a milder Easter.
