The weather in Germany goes from one extreme to the next.
After the icy cold, temperatures of up to 20 degrees are emerging.
But the remaining winter forecasts speak a different language.
Munich - The weather in Germany could hardly be more different in such a short time.
After the country was firmly in the grip of the Siberian cold for the past two weeks, spring is knocking on the door.
Last weekend, for example, the thermometer in Munich * still showed up to minus seventeen degrees at night.
Now the extreme turnaround: At the weekend and at the beginning of the new week, spring hits Germany completely - temperatures of up to 20 degrees are then possible - not only in Munich.
Weather in Germany: barbecue weather all over the country - up to 20 degrees possible
As meteorologist Dominik Jung from the weather portal
wetter.net
explains, the mild weather is initially taking off in Germany with full force.
As early as Thursday, February 18, temperatures of up to 15 degrees will be reached in the west and south-west of the country.
Over the weekend, the weather will continue to warm up - by Sunday temperatures of 19 degrees will be reached in the west and especially in Breisgau.
Spring also strikes in Munich, where Jung is supposed to shine in the sun for the entire weekend, but the maximum is not reached at temperatures of 16 degrees.
At the beginning of the week, temperatures in Upper Bavaria climb up to 18 degrees.
In the southwest, the magical limit of 20 degrees should then be reached.
But spring fans should slow their expectations - the mild weather is only a short interlude before - according to long-term forecasts - winter wins the upper hand again.
Weather: Long-term forecasts speak for themselves - winter is coming back again
As Dominik Jung from
wetter.net
further explains, there are no
signs of
a sustainable spring breakthrough in March.
On the basis of long-term forecasts of the European weather model EZMWF (European Center for Medium-Term Weather Forecasts) it can be seen that the winter in Germany is not yet blowing away.
The model analyzes various long-term forecasts and uses them to create a forecast that also covers periods in the distant future.
For March, according to meteorologist Dominik Jung, one thing can be seen clearly: As of now, no temperature anomalies will be seen.
The maps of Germany are marked with white color, which means that the month is forecast neither too warm nor too cold.
Accordingly, so Jung.
According to current calculations, a continuation of winter is therefore likely.

Weather: March forecast speaks for itself: "It's going to be cold again"
Not only Dominik Jung from
wetter.net
sees the situation that way.
Jan Schenk from
The Weather Channel Germany also
assesses the situation in a similar way: “It's getting cold again.
We shouldn't get too used to these 20 degrees, ”says Jung.
"Severe frost" is to be expected especially in the nights.
According to the forecasts, March will “probably be too cool.” Due to the higher position of the sun, however, the temperatures warmed up more than in the past.
Nevertheless, it could even be enough for new snowfall, so Schenk continues.
“We have to get used to the fact that winter is coming back.” This is due to the Azores high, which is reestablishing itself and blocking the jet stream, freeing up the way for cold air to reach Germany.
