Overview
- Meteorological services expect many areas to reach around or above 20°C on Easter Sunday, with the southwest possibly pushing into the mid‑20s in some forecasts.
- The German Weather Service (DWD) says the holiday will stay changeable, with sun in places, passing showers, and brisk winds in others, and it flags uncertainty tied to the timing of an approaching front.
- Short‑term guidance still notes cold mornings with frost and slick spots near the Alps on Thursday before temperatures climb into the weekend.
- Recent late‑season snow in Tyrol and parts of the Alps left elevated avalanche danger at Level 3 and led to travel issues, including a brief Fernpass closure and chain requirements on some passes.
- Elsewhere in Europe, a deep low over the south is expected to bring very heavy rain and flood risk in parts of Italy, Greece, Crete, and Cyprus, while separate storm systems may drive strong winds over the North Sea and the UK and could brush northern Germany after the holiday.
