A brief dip in temperatures is headed for Germany just before the weekend, but weather models already suggest this chill won’t last.
As of Thursday, March 12th, the weather across Germany is divided. The southeast is experiencing cloudy skies and some rain, even as other regions are seeing periods of sunshine. Denser clouds will move in from the west and northwest in the evening, but significant rainfall is not expected. Temperatures will reach approximately 12 to 16 degrees Celsius, though it will be cooler near the North Sea due to a fresh wind.
A strong southwest wind is developing, particularly in the northwest, with gusts that could be stormy along the coast. Meteorologists indicate this marks the beginning of a brief cold snap, bringing a “compact winter greeting” to Germany around March 14th and 15th.

On Friday, March 13th, a rain area will move inland from the northwest and west. Widespread precipitation is expected, especially during the first half of the day, while it may grow drier at the North Sea in the afternoon. Temperatures in the rainy regions will reach only about 7 to 12 degrees Celsius.
Conditions will be quite different in the southeast, where clouds will often break, remaining mostly dry with temperatures of 15 to 19 degrees Celsius. A southwest wind will pick up in many areas, bringing strong gusts, especially in the north and higher elevations.

The weekend will also see unsettled weather. Dense clouds will often dominate, with occasional rain. In higher elevations of some low mountain ranges, there is a possibility of snow. Temperatures on Saturday, March 14th, will generally reach 8 to 13 degrees Celsius, with milder values of up to 17 degrees Celsius in the southeast. Isolated showers in the northwest may be accompanied by brief thunderstorms.

Highs will generally be between 9 and 14 degrees Celsius. The beginning of the new week will remain changeable with showers, but current forecasts already indicate a gradual warming trend – with daytime temperatures quickly reaching 17 or 18 degrees Celsius!
