The weather in Germany is finally getting warm. But the joy is short-lived.
Current update: The weather in Germany also goes roller coaster in May. While it is currently rather cool and uncomfortable, a sudden change in the weather follows on the weekend. A “warmth egg” from Africa is coming via Spain and hits Germany on Mother’s Day (May 9th, 2021). In addition to Saharan dust, according to current forecasts, it even brings the first hot day of the year.
“From one day to the next, the maximum values skyrocket. 25 degrees and more are then possible in Germany, widespread up to 28 degrees and locally in the southwest even top values of up to 30 degrees. That would be the first hot day in 2021, ”explains graduate meteorologist Dominik Jung. But the joy is short-lived.
Weather in Germany: “Warmth egg” brings heat hammer on Mother’s Day
Because even on Sunday, strong thunderstorms * are approaching from the west and provide for cooling. According to current forecasts, the weather on Monday (May 10th, 2021) in Germany will only be very warm in the east and south-east, in the north-west it will be cooler again. On Tuesday and Wednesday, snowflakes are even possible again in the higher elevations in southern Germany. “What a crazy spring weather. May also continues where April left off. It goes up and down, ”Jung sums up.

First report: Offenbach – The weather * in Germany is currently going crazy. While the temperatures soared to 22 degrees Celsius in February, spring * has so far lacked constant, beautiful phases. The longing for sunny days is great – and could now come true in May. Because current forecasts * predict 30 degrees Celsius * on Mother’s Day. But there is a big catch.
Until then, it will be quite turbulent. “May could bring very chaotic weather for the first ten days. Something of everything: Storms * due to heavy rain, again night frosts and then even briefly summer warmth. Nothing of long duration and always a wild back and forth ”, explains graduate meteorologist Dominik Jung from the weather service Q.met opposite the weather portal wetter.net.
Weather in Germany: Forecasts see the first hot day on Mother’s Day
While very warm air masses have been lying over the south-east of Europe for a few days, it is rather too cold in western Europe. At first nothing will change that, but shortly before Mother’s Day there is a rapid change. Then, according to current forecasts, a “warmth egg” rushes in and brings summery weather. “On the Upper Rhine, around Mother’s Day, it would even be almost 30 degrees for the first time this year, making it the first hot day of the year,” reports Jung.
But there is no trace of constant and permanent high pressure weather with lots of sunshine and warmth. Because shortly after the heat high on Mother’s Day there is another sharp drop in temperature. Even ground frost is then possible again. “April does what he wants and May now apparently too. The chances of calm, stable and sunny May weather in the first half of the month are currently falling rapidly towards zero, ”predicts Jung.
