A Pentecost trip to the Mediterranean to awaken the summer feelings? This year, different rules apply: Holiday weather is spreading in Germany.
Munich – Do you want to soak up the sun over Pentecost? This year, you don't have to cast envious glances at leisure travelers. On the contrary, the bad weather phase in Spain, Italy and France continues. The weather in Germany, on the other hand, offers sunny prospects.
Expert announces: Over Pentecost, we can expect better weather in Germany than in the Mediterranean
Gernot Schütz from wetter.de introduces the long weekend with positive news: "During the Whitsun holidays, we have much better weather in Germany than in the typical holiday regions around the Mediterranean." The reason: A storm-like low-pressure area runs through the Mediterranean region from Spain to the Black Sea. In some hotspot regions, extreme weather conditions are still to be expected.

Most recently, the low-pressure carousel did not stop at Germany and caused flooding in southern Bavaria, among other things. Now the situation is different: especially in the south of Germany, summer temperatures and up to 14 hours of sunshine await. Nationwide, it will remain mostly dry up to and including Whit Monday, according to wetter.de. However, a "north-south divide" is emerging in terms of temperatures: Somewhat cooler air blows into the coastal regions coming from Scandinavia.

After a very mixed spring, we can look forward to plenty of sunshine at Pentecost. However, Gernot Schütz warns: "The risk of sunburn is very high." With a UV index of seven to eight, regular application of cream should not be forgotten under any circumstances
In addition to sunshine in Germany: In these European countries, it will also be summery
If you like to travel despite good weather in Germany and have not yet booked a holiday, you should think about European destinations far away from the Mediterranean region. According to wetter.de, good weather can be expected at Pentecost in Great Britain, Eastern Europe as well as in the north of France and south of Sweden. (Felina Wellner)
