Overview
- The German Weather Service, which expects a brighter Easter Monday, forecasts dry spells with a sun–cloud mix, 9 to 14 degrees in the north and up to 22 degrees in the southwest.
- DWD warnings on Sunday covered all of North Rhine-Westphalia for wind gusts, with 65 km/h in exposed spots and showers or isolated storms in parts of the south.
- Forecasters say a short warm peak is likely by midweek in the southwest, with the first 25°C of the year possible and some outlets noting up to 26°C in favored valleys.
- Meteorologists flag a fast swing from near-freezing nights to early-summer afternoons, which raises ground-frost risk for gardens late Monday and Tuesday nights.
- People near the coasts can expect wind to linger even as skies clear, and allergy sufferers face a high birch pollen load during the warm spell.
