The weather on Easter weekend is tough: Sahara dust, the first summer day of the year, rain showers – and maybe even snow.
Munich – Holding the Easter hunt outdoors or indoors depends on the weather. While there was recently an official weather warning shortly before the Easter weekend, there is now even a possibility that Easter will be accompanied by snow this year.
Temperature records are falling – will the weather stay warm at Easter?
The recording of temperature records continues. March could also reach new highs after the warmest February in 140 years. Currently, March records an average temperature of 7 degrees Celsius, making it the second warmest March month. According to
wetternet,
the record is 7.2 degrees Celsius, while the average is 4.6 degrees Celsius. There are still a few days left to potentially reach the top spot - whether that is desirable remains to be seen.
Maundy Thursday and Good Friday could be characterized by changeable weather, with a mix of showers and sunny spells. It is expected to rain a lot on Good Friday, especially in the north and west. But then a significant change in the weather is imminent.

Summer day and “blood rain”: Easter weekend has it all
It is forecast that Saturday will reach temperatures of over 20 degrees, making it "the first day of summer of 2024 - and the end of March," as weather expert Dominik Jung announced. Temperatures of up to 25 degrees could even be reached, especially in the east and on the Upper Rhine. In addition to the mild air currents, Sahara dust is also expected to reach Germany, which could lead to so-called “blood rain”.
According to Jung, the weather on Easter Sunday will be “quite friendly, it can be a little cooler in the north”. However, after Easter, temperatures are expected to drop and changeable weather will hit the country. There's also a chance of sleet, Jung said.
This is what the weather will be like during Easter week 2024:
Maundy Thursday, March 28th |
10 to 17 degrees |
a few showers, but also sunshine in the middle |
Good Friday, March 29th |
13 to 20 degrees |
Rain especially in the west and north, sunshine in the middle |
Saturday March 30th |
17 to 25 degrees |
very warm, showers and thunderstorms possible later |
Easter Sunday, March 31st |
14 to 22 degrees |
Mix of sun and clouds |
Easter Monday, April 1st |
12 to 21 degrees |
lots of clouds and occasional showers |
Tuesday, April 2nd |

Does a high pressure area bring cold air and snowfall to Germany?
There have been no significant developments in winter weather since mid-January, contrary to some speculation about a possible onset of winter. The prospects of a white Easter therefore seem to be rather slim. Or is it possible?
According to
The Weather Channel,
there is still some uncertainty here. Two scenarios are conceivable, with the position of the Azores high being crucial. Should this high move towards America, Germany would be influenced by southerly currents, resulting in high temperatures.
On the other hand, it is also possible that the high will position itself closer to Europe, which would bring a northerly flow to Germany. This would result in cold air masses flowing in, which in turn could bring snowfall, especially at higher altitudes. The exact position of the high pressure area cannot yet be precisely determined.
With April weather likely to be changeable, it would be wise to prepare for both an outdoor and indoor egg hunt.
