A walk, a bike ride or even a barbecue: the weekend starts like spring and is likely to entice many people to take part in outdoor activities.
"High 'Jasper', centered over Scandinavia, brings dry continental air from the east and thus ensures sunny and dry weather in Germany," said meteorologist Marcel Schmid from the German Weather Service (DWD) about the weather situation.
“The weekend also starts like spring.”
For Saturday, meteorologists expect a lot of sun and rising temperatures to up to 16 degrees in the south and west of Germany.
At the sea and in the Ore Mountains it stays cooler at a maximum of 10 degrees.
There will also be unpleasantly gusty easterly winds at times.
At night temperatures are expected to drop to plus five to zero degrees.
There will be a lot of clouds on Sunday.
It's also supposed to rain in the afternoon.
“The sun can still be seen from time to time and it remains mild,” says Schmid.
The temperatures climbed to 10 to 16 degrees.
It only stays cooler at the sea and in the higher mountains.
Areas of rain on Monday
On Monday night it cooled down to plus six to one degree.
It will be cloudy.
In the middle and east of Germany it rains at times, but otherwise it mostly stays dry.
At the start of the new week it will remain cloudy - with mild temperatures of 9 to 14 degrees.
The sun appears in the south.
The north is facing rain in some areas.
Astronomically speaking, it's still winter - calendar spring doesn't begin until March 20th.
From a meteorological point of view, spring began on March 1st.
The background to this is that weather experts count the seasons in full months for statistical reasons.
