Munich will wake up from its hibernation in the coming week.
Lots of sun and mild temperatures lure you outside.
February will not be record-breaking.
The first week of spring in Munich could be an endurance test for allergy sufferers (update from February 19, 9.48 p.m.).
Cold air from Russia is already in the starting blocks (update from February 20, 9.50 a.m.).
This news ticker is continuously updated.
Update from February 20, 9.50 a.m.:
Bright sunshine greeted the people of Munich on Saturday morning.
In addition, the thermometer climbed to seven degrees in the early morning hours.
A foretaste of the temperatures that can reach up to 15 degrees.
And so begins the first
week of
spring 2021. Until Friday,
wetteronline.de
predicts
temperatures of up to 17 degrees for the state capital.
Plus plenty of sun.
It can only get fresh at night.
If the values are still below zero degrees at the beginning of the week, they rise to plus two degrees over the course of the week.
Even if the temperatures are far too warm for the time of year: They probably won't scratch the record value for February.
The highest measured value for Munich dates back to 1990. On February 25th it was an unbelievable 21.4 degrees.
This year's February will not be able to top that.
On the contrary.
Winter doesn't give up yet.
Another change in the weather threatens from next weekend.
The temperatures are rushing back to ten degrees and they will probably drop even further in the first week of March.
A low pressure area with cold air from Russia is already on its way to us.
The probability that it will be really fresh again in March is great.
Change in the weather is a problem for allergy sufferers
Update from February 19, 9.48 p.m.: Bright
sunshine and up to 15 degrees in the shade.
That is the forecast for tomorrow, Saturday in Munich and the surrounding area.
Unfortunately, one endangered group is left behind - allergy sufferers.
Because the hazelnut bushes are already blooming and spreading their pollen.
The air pollution with hazel pollen is estimated by the DWD for all of southern Bavaria including Munich to be medium.
The whole thing on February 19th?
For this, experts actually make climate change jointly responsible.
The measurement data from the past two decades show that the pollen count starts earlier every year.
Bad news for all allergy sufferers.
If you have the reactions to the pollen well under control with medication, you may still be happy with everyone else.
Spring will come from tomorrow.
Even if not for long.
The long-term forecast for Munich and Bavaria can be found below in the article.
Update from February 19, 10:31 a.m
.: There is still not much to see of spring weather in and around Munich.
However, according to forecasts by the weather portal
wetter.com,
that should change very soon.
Today, Friday, February 19, the morning will still be wet and cool, the temperatures will peak at nine degrees in the late afternoon.
But from tomorrow, February 20, the mild weather will penetrate fully.
Over the weekend, the sun shines continuously in Munich at temperatures of 15 degrees.
At the beginning of the new week, the temperatures keep rising.
Weather: Spring is coming - up to 20 degrees are possible
From Monday, February 22nd to Thursday, February 25th, it will be warmer and warmer.
With bright sunshine and temperatures of around 20 degrees, spring comes in full force for the first time.
However, it remains very cool at night.
At values around zero degrees, the temperatures drop sharply as soon as the sun goes down.
First report from February 18, 2021
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 similarly: “It's getting cold again.
We shouldn't get too used to these 20 degrees, ”says Jung.
"Severe frost" is particularly common at night.
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.
