Lower Saxony's Easter weather promises an extraordinary phenomenon: blood rain, Sahara dust and summer temperatures ensure an unforgettable celebration.
Lower Saxony - Easter 2024 in Lower Saxony presents itself from a particularly unusual side: Instead of cool spring temperatures, the population expects a scenario of blood rain, Sahara dust and unusually high temperatures, which could even herald the first day of summer of the year. A weather constellation that causes both a stir and special preparations - can you experience the Easter fire, for example in Hamburg on the Elbe beach, in a T-shirt?
Easter weather with almost summer temperatures, Sahara dust and blood rain
Winter has been a long time coming for the past eight weeks, and now a record warm March 2024 is about to conclude. With an average of 7.0 degrees Celsius, the temperature already significantly exceeds the norm from 1991 to 2020, which was 4.6 degrees. This means that March 2024 could go down in history and break the previous record of 7.2 degrees Celsius.
What is particularly noticeable about this Easter weather is the Sahara dust, which flows to us over the Mediterranean and creates a cloudy atmosphere. In combination with rain showers, this dust can fall as so-called blood rain, turning the cars and streets a dirty brown - a phenomenon that will certainly drive many a car owner to the car wash.
The weather on Holy Saturday with highs between 23 and 25 degrees Celsius
Temperatures on Holy Saturday will reach highs of between 23 and 25 degrees Celsius, which is well above the usual level for this time of year. This marks the first day of summer of the year, an event that is rarely found so early in the calendar.

The weather trend for April to June 2024 will continue to be mild to very warm, with temperatures that are 1 to 2 degrees above the new climate average. Despite this warmth, there are no major dry spells in sight; On the contrary, it will be wetter than usual, which means more rain than usual, especially in the center of the country and on the edge of the Alps.
The Easter weekend itself will be characterized by changeable weather, starting with a partly rainy Good Friday, mainly in the west and in the center of the country. However, Holy Saturday promises to be friendlier, with a mix of sun and clouds as well as warm air masses from the Sahara, ensuring high temperatures. Easter Sunday seems to be the nicer of the two holidays, with a mix of sun and clouds and pleasant temperatures between 17 and 21 degrees Celsius.
In summary, it can be said that Easter in Lower Saxony in 2024 will be anything but typical. Instead of spring-like coolness, we can expect hot temperatures, Saharan dust and the unusual sight of blood rain - a meteorological peculiarity that will be remembered.
