Weather in Germany - when does spring 2020 start?
For meteorologists, spring starts on March 1st. For astronomers, spring 2020 begins on March 20, 2020 . The flora hardly depends on it. And the weather in Germany *? Using various weather models, weather experts are trying to interpret the first forecasts for spring 2020. Occasional indications of a rare weather phenomenon - the so-called March winter - have been the subject of heated debate. After the warm winter, meterologists warned in January of an extremely warm spring 2020. Drought and drought.
And indeed, the first days of March were warmer than usual, reports meteorologist Dominik Jung from the Q.met weather service . In contrast, there is currently hardly any drought and drought. The rivers are full. Floods are more likely. Because since February 2020, a western weather situation has had us completely under control, explains weather expert Jung. In the past two years - 2018 and 2019 - this actually typical weather situation for us had almost fallen asleep.
The dry March forecast by the US weather service NOAA appears to be rather questionable from the current perspective, at least for the west of the country, Jung admits in a current announcement. In the next few days, around 15 degrees will be reached locally. The weather portal Unwetterzentrale.de tweeted that even 20 degrees could be reached on Thursday .

Weather in Germany: polar vortex runs out of breath
The signs are increasingly pointing to warm spring weather, says meteorologist Dominik Jung. Next week, he says, the mild air will gradually prevail across the country. Widespread up to 18 degrees would then be possible. The polar vortex plays an important role and it is on the retreat. The strong polar vortex is running out of steam, writes the Wetterpotal wetteronline.de. In the middle of the month, there is an indication of a change. However, it remains to be seen whether this will have an impact on the weather in Germany.
