Weather in Germany: When will it finally be warm? Expert with a bitter prognosis

The spring weather in Germany has so far disappointed sun worshipers. When will it get warm again?

Update from Tuesday, May 18, 2021, 11.50 a.m.: When will the weather in Germany finally be nice and sunny again? Many people are likely to be asking themselves this question right now. Because since Mother’s Day there has been no trace of mild days – on the contrary: Spring is not only wet, at higher altitudes there is even snowfall from time to time.

When looking at the current forecasts, there is also no all-clear: the rest of May falls into the water and is characterized by showers and thunderstorms. Temperatures in early summer are not in sight. “This year the transition between ice saints * and sheep cold * seems to be seamless. Actually, the ice saints could not be tied to any date this year, because somehow it has felt too cold since the beginning of April and it is measured that way. April was the coldest in 40 years. May will be the coldest in at least ten years. These are very bitter prospects, especially since we are currently still unable to really travel to warm regions, ”explains meteorologist Dominik Jung from the Q.met weather service to the weather portal wetter.net.

Weather in Germany: Sun at last in summer? Expert has bad news

Will summer * finally bring the long-awaited sunshine? There is currently a lot to suggest that the weather in summer in Germany will be one of the extremes. The first signs of this are in June.

Weather in Germany: When will it be warm again? Expert speaks plain text

Update from Saturday, April 17th, 2021, 2:27 p.m.: Will spring be a total failure? After March, it looks like it will also be in April. The trend is clear: the weather in Germany is currently one cold spell following the next. Cold air masses bring snow and sleet with them, in places there was even night frost. How long will this muddle of weather go on? An expert now voiced a concern.

The longing for warm spring weather is great, but unfortunately that is not happening at the moment. The weather in Germany is far too cold for this time of year. The sun does shine from time to time, but the temperatures barely climb above 10 degrees. Can spring friends now completely write off April? The forecast by graduate meteorologist Dominik Jung gives little hope.

Weather in Germany: Spring with total failure? Meteorologist with forecast for April

“I’m afraid that we won’t have a nice April spring this year,” he told the weather portal wetter.net. A high “Queen” is to blame for this April misery in Germany. “It blocks the mild air masses from the west and southwest and clears the way for cold air masses from Northern Europe. As long as the high remains to the west of us, the warm weather will continue to do nothing, ”explains weather expert Jung.

Although there are signs of warming for the penultimate week of April, whether it will really come to Germany and how strong it will be, according to Jung, it is still very uncertain. Spring has unfortunately been very difficult this year and is only slowly gaining momentum. Car owners should therefore perhaps wait a little longer before switching to summer tires. The hope for a turnaround in the weather rests on May.

Weather in Germany: when will spring come? Experts give little hope

First report from Friday, April 9th, 2021: Offenbach – Spring * was hardly noticeable in the months of March and April. So far, he has only been able to make a name for himself in short phases before the temperatures suddenly plummeted again. In Germany, the thick coat was worn over the T-shirt. Frosty weather * and even snow and hail made problems for the new balcony plants and the barbecue season came to an abrupt end for the time being. This muddle of weather fits in with April, which is known as a changeable month, but such a stubborn cold front is unusual, at least in view of the past few years. So when will it be really warm again in Germany with temperatures above 20 degrees *? According to forecasts, this could take a while.

“The coldest air mass possible at this time of year is exactly over Germany,” wrote the experts from “wetter.net” at the beginning of April. Instead of spring, the weather was more reminiscent of winter. And especially in Corona times. Because people want to get out of their four walls and therefore hope for summer temperatures. One thing is certain: Spring will be a tedious thing.

Weather in Germany – when will it get warmer and spring will take off?

A touch of spring can be felt again on the second weekend in April, as predicted meteorologist Dominik Jung from the weather service Q.met, but that doesn’t last long. Cold, rain and snow again prevail. “We are currently stuck in late winter. The blockage is to blame. There is a high above the Atlantic, right on our doorstep. Then there is another low over Scandinavia. Between the high and the low, the way is clear for a cold north-westerly current and it has fully captured us, ”Jung told wetter.net. But how much longer do people in Germany have to endure this cold weather?

Unfortunately, weather conditions like this can last very long, says meteorologist Jung. “Only in the last third of the month is there any hope of a change.” Then the weather in Germany could become significantly warmer again, in the west and south even up to 25 degrees. “But that’s just a tentative trend at first,” explains Jung.

Weather: Power struggle between spring and late winter – when will it be warm again in Germany?

The European weather model ECMWF calculates an even later spring advance. According to current weather forecasts *, over 20 degrees are no longer to be expected in April. This is also confirmed by RTL meteorologist Björn Alexander to wetter.de. “The way it looks now, April 2021 will pass in Germany without a single summer day,” he says. Some short-term hot air advances are difficult to predict, but they are not likely. “This is definitely a rarity. In the past 30 years, Germany has only experienced four times an April without a single summer day with values above 25 degrees, ”says Alexander. So hope rests on May.

Spring could really take off in May, at least there is a first trend towards warmer weather for this spring month. In the north of Germany, according to the ECMWF model, May 21st is calculated for the first summer day, according to “wetter.de”. Even in the west, April is not really good for outdoor activities. The weather experts only see a 25 on the thermometer in the last third of May 2021. In April there was not even a 20 in it. In the east it is also May 21st, when the weather can get really summery again. May 22nd is probably a good day for a picnic in the park in the south.
