Frost at the beginning of the week, 20 degrees in the middle of the week, storm and snow at the weekend - one weather change follows the next.
An expert explains why.
Munich – The weather in Germany continues to go crazy.
After cold days with snow and frost, weather experts are again announcing mild temperatures of up to 20 degrees.
However, this should be followed by storm and cold again.
One weather change chases the next.
Even the next onset of winter is said to be in the starting blocks.
The forecasts can be quite confusing, is the weather getting better or not?
Experts have an explanation for the current constant weather changes and repeating weather patterns.
"Responsible for this is the jet stream, which is currently the driving force behind our weather," explains Jan Schenk, meteorologist at
The Weather Channel
.
Since the jet stream sometimes blows smoothly from the west, but then makes a strong wave movement again, we are currently presented with an always the same sequence of extreme weather changes.

After the danger of frost in the morning, snow was only to be expected in the east during the day.
Meteorologists from the west have announced rain for Wednesday, "so it's getting warmer," said Schenk.
On Thursday, the temperatures can again be between spring-like 15 and 20 degrees.
But it goes back and forth, in the following days the values are expected to drop again.
On Sunday the weather can give us snow and frost again.

Weather in Germany: ups and downs can last until after Easter
According to meteorologist Schenk, the ups and downs will continue as long as the jet stream is at an altitude and hits Germany.
"At least until Easter, maybe even a little longer," predicts Schenk.
Diplom meteorologist Dominik Jung from
wetter.net
also agrees: “Until Easter, it seems that there will be no consistently warm, sunny and dry weather.
There will not be permanent values of 15 to 20 degrees for the time being”.
In the coming days it will be a little warmer again for a short time, but the next surge of polar air will arrive here in Germany from the weekend, according to the weather expert.
