Late‑Season Warmth Gives Way to Sharp Cold Front and Rain

A northwest cold front will drive a rapid temperature drop with rain and gusty coastal winds while models suggest a possible high‑pressure rebound in the days after the weekend.

Overview

  • Friday will be the warmest day, with late‑season sunshine pushing temperatures into the low‑to‑mid 20s in western and southwestern Germany according to DWD forecasts.
  • A cold front moving in from the northwest late Friday into Saturday will trigger widespread cloud cover and a pronounced temperature fall as polar air advects southward.
  • Forecasters expect persistent, at times heavy, rain over the weekend in Baden‑Württemberg and parts of Bavaria with modelled totals commonly around 20–30 liters per square metre and isolated higher amounts.
  • Coastal areas face fresher to strong gusts on Saturday while nights and mornings in low‑lying and sheltered spots will bring widespread fog or high‑stratus and a risk of localized ground frost.
  • European and American model runs indicate the potential for an Omega‑type blocking high to rebuild after the front and restore milder, sunnier days early next week, but the timing and persistence of that rebound remain uncertain.
