BERLIN, April 2, 2026 Germany is set to experience a rapid warming trend over the Easter holidays, with temperatures potentially reaching 25 degrees Celsius in some regions, according to meteorologists. A high-pressure area expanding slowly over Western Europe and the Atlantic will bring warmer temperatures to Germany during the Easter days. The western and southwestern parts of the country will benefit first, with more sunny periods expected from Good Friday onwards. The greatest chances for temperatures to hit 25 degrees Celsius—classified as a summer day by the German Weather Service (DWD)—are in the southwestern and southern regions, particularly the Upper Rhine Valley, Baden-Württemberg, and Bavaria. Diplom-Meteorologist Jürgen Schmidt stated that temperatures will rise slowly over Easter, adding: *"Insgesamt geht es über Ostern langsam aufwärts mit den Temperaturen."* Meteorologist Dominik Jung noted the transition to a more stable weather pattern will occur gradually, starting in the west. He also suggested that *"Ein Sommertag mit mindestens 25 Grad ist nach derzeitigem Stand durchaus wahrscheinlich"*—a summer day with at least 25 degrees is quite likely given current conditions. Temperatures are expected to continue climbing on Easter Monday, with pleasant weather forecast for most of the country. By Tuesday and Wednesday of the following week, highs of 25 degrees Celsius could be reached in the south and west. The warming coincides with the Easter holidays, offering favorable conditions for outdoor activities. On Easter Sunday alone, some areas may see temperatures as high as 23 degrees Celsius. The DWD defines a summer day as one where temperatures reach or exceed 25 degrees Celsius. This warming trend marks a shift from earlier, cooler conditions across Germany.
