Weather forecast Easter: late Easter dates tend to warmer
In recent years there has been almost every weather on Easter: from constant rain, violent thunderstorms, storms and snowfall to summer temperatures is possible, writes the German Weather Service. The reason for this is, among other things, the fluctuating time of the Easter festival, which is calculated based on the moon: the earliest Easter Sunday is 22.3. Already at the end of March, while the latest only falls on April 25th. This alone ensures that later Easter appointments tend to be rather warmer than those that are at the end of March.
Incidentally, the coldest Easter festivals were in 1964, 1977, 2008 and 2013. In these years, the maximum values were only in the low single -digit range. Easter in 2000, on the other hand, was particularly warm. Values of 25 to 30 degrees were reached, especially in the east. According to the Potsdam records, the leader represents 30 degrees on Easter Sunday, April 23, 2000. This spring, the DWD had predicted early on that the precipitation should become more frequent in southern April from mid -April. So the same as the saying says: April, April, what he wants. But in Bavaria, people can at least make hope that it will stay dry on Easter Sunday and Easter Monday.
