Erfurt / Leipzig (dpa / th) - In Thuringia it will be cold and uncomfortable at the end of Easter.
After a relatively friendly Easter Sunday with sunshine, the week starts cloudy, wet and cool.
In the ridges of the Thuringian Forest, snow is to be expected, said Jens Oehmichen, a meteorologist at the German Weather Service (DWD) in Leipzig.
"It's too cold for the time of year."
Responsible is a cold front that moves over Thuringia on Easter Monday.
After that, cold air flows into the Free State from arctic latitudes.
In the upper layers of the Thuringian Forest, five to ten centimeters of fresh snow are possible until Tuesday morning.
Even in the lowlands there will be snow showers until midweek.
The mercury column will not reach more than five to six degrees.
In the high altitudes it remains frosty.
Many Thuringians used Easter Sunday with sunshine and values of up to eleven degrees for a bike tour or a walk in the countryside.
However, there was not a big rush for excursion destinations, for example in the Thuringian Forest.
The police spoke of a quiet situation.
There were also no major violations of the applicable corona rules.
