Warmest March since measurements began: Temperature record broken for 18th month in a row. Since 1881, temperatures in Germany in March have never been as high as in 2024.
February had already set a record. And April also starts off summery: almost 30 degrees are expected at the weekend. The reason for the possible high temperatures is warm air from the Mediterranean and southwestern Europe, which is being pushed into Germany by the low pressure areas over Western Europe and the Atlantic. The last time there were two consecutive monthly records was in 2018.
