Wednesday marks the start of meteorological summer - and the weather is slowly adjusting to it.
"In view of the maximum values, one has to say that the weather will sleep through this start, but will wake up in the course of the second half of the week," said meteorologist Tobias Reinartz from the German Weather Service (DWD) in Offenbach.
The south always stays a few degrees ahead of the north.
T-shirts can be taken out of the closet as early as Wednesday in the south with sunshine and temperatures of up to 25 degrees.
In the cloudy north, on the other hand, it will be a maximum of 20 degrees warm with difficulty, and there may also be showers and thunderstorms.
It's similar on Thursday.
On Friday it will be warmer all over Germany
However, there is a change in the weather for Friday: throughout Germany it will be a few degrees warmer, in the middle and in the north the weather will also be showing its friendly side.
It looks completely different south of the Main.
Heavy showers and thunderstorms are possible during the day, heavy rain and hail are also possible.
The DWD does not rule out local storms.
