Easter Weather in Germany: A Mix of Sunshine and Storms

As Easter approaches, Germany is experiencing a blend of pleasant and challenging weather. The German Weather Service predicts mild temperatures but also warns of potential storms. Easter Sunday is expected to start with sunshine, particularly in the north, but by midday, thunderstorms with heavy rain may develop, especially from North Rhine-Westphalia to Bavaria and Saxony. Rainfall could reach up to 50 liters per square meter in some areas.

The unpredictable weather is attributed to a front system bringing moist air from France, leading to possible hail and strong winds. Despite this, traditional Easter activities like the brightly decorated fountains in Bavaria continue, with many enjoying outdoor festivities. On the island of Norderney, tourists are embracing the cooler, cloudy weather, marking the start of the tourist season.

While some regions might face heavy rain and storms, others could enjoy dry spells suitable for Easter strolls. As the holiday unfolds, the weather remains a dynamic mix of sunshine and downpours, a hallmark of April's variable climate in Germany.
