White forests, icy paths: snow is expected in the mountain regions until the middle of the week. But what about the rest of the country? A quick check.
The new week starts in late winter. Initially with snowfall – especially in the south of Germany. There is also a risk of widespread frost or ground frost at night, so it can become slippery on the roads in some regions.
In principle, this applies until the middle of the week, when further snow showers are likely to follow above around 600 to 800 meters. Afterwards, spring gradually wants to play along again. Accordingly, the weather models are finally giving us noticeable upward trends again.
After all, the spring season attracts with increasing amounts of sunshine and peak temperatures of around 20 degrees. Given the time of year, this is still slightly below average, but not comparable to the current deviations. Some of them are at or below 10 degrees below the seasonal average.
The question of a stable spring high and dry prospects is currently on many minds, but it is difficult to answer. After all, the weather computers calculate a decrease in precipitation in the last few meters of April and thus an overall very useful trend into May.
Whether it will ultimately help the wonderful month is still very questionable at the moment. A look at the experimental long-term shows that the monthly forecasts fluctuate between averagely wet and significantly too wet. That would correspond to a Germany-wide average of around 70 liters per square meter or more. All this with above-average temperatures – which cannot be said for the coming days. Here are the details.
Map: This is the current weather
More snow showers are on the way, especially in the south. The forecast amounts of new snow in the Black Forest and Alps area are around 5 centimeters, and in isolated cases up to 10 centimeters in the dams. The snowfall limit is between 400 and 600 meters. Towards the north, however, the sky is often looser, so it is mostly frosty and sometimes with frost or freezing moisture. Only the river basins in the west are still experiencing slight plus temperatures.
Monday: changeable and cold start
The new week is once again unsettled. In addition to some sunshine, repeated showers that turn into sleet or snow in the mountains. The April weather mix is rounded off by an increased risk of thunderstorms – preferably in the west. Temperatures usually do not reach more than 3 to 11 degrees in the cool northeast wind.

Tuesday: briefly quieter and often friendlier
Under the influence of intermediate highs, the loosening with sunny parts increases significantly in the west and east. Meanwhile, the day is more mixed in the south and southeast, where snow is still falling above around 600 to 800 meters. And after a nice start, the Northern Lights also have to expect increased downpours as the day progresses. After a mostly frosty night, temperatures reach between 5 and 12 degrees during the day.
Wednesday and Thursday: cold air on the home stretch
After the risk of frost at night, temperatures are still only 5 to 12 degrees during the day. It will also remain changeable with showers; The snowfall limit is expected to be around 600 to 800 meters. In addition, the wind is sometimes brisk to stormy. First from the west, before it turns more and more to the southwest on Thursday and thus initiates the easing for the weekend.
Friday and weekend: Improvement with starting problems
Friday still has a lot of clouds in the program. But by the weekend at the latest, the sun is fighting through better and the tendency to showers is becoming less and less. We notice this immediately with the temperatures. They bring 6 to 17 degrees on Friday, up to 20 on Saturday and up to 21 degrees on Sunday.
