The mild temperatures are currently awakening the feeling of spring.
But that doesn't mean there will be nice weather over Easter.
Kassel – Spring can often be changeable.
And since Easter is early this year, nice weather is certainly not guaranteed.
Milder temperatures in Germany are currently giving hope for a sunny Easter, but whether that will happen is still questionable.
Because the weather is currently quite friendly, it could become even more uncomfortable at the end of March.
Strong warming in the stratosphere could cause the polar vortex to weaken.
This would cause the flow in the vortex to weaken and create bulges in which cold air currents would shift further south.
For this reason, meteorologists at
wetter.de
are currently predicting that a drop in temperature over Easter is likely.
The arctic temperatures that characterized this winter are not yet completely over.
Easter 2024: Weather models predict changeable weather
Common weather models, such as the European Weather Model (ECMWF) and the American Climate Forecast System (CFS), are currently calculating possible weather forecasts.
According to meteorologist Johannes Graf, the European model is currently predicting normal temperatures and slightly mild temperatures over Easter.
It is currently questionable whether there will be a bright blue sky at Easter.

The American CFS model, on the other hand, even predicts possible frost in model calculations.
Rain is also likely: “In terms of drought or changeable weather, the current trend is towards low air pressure, which does not necessarily mean bright sunshine and high temperatures, but on the contrary,” explains Graf at

Weather over Easter 2024: Temperature forecasts still inaccurate
However, the meteorologist also points out that these forecasts could still change: “Currently, a precise forecast for the end of March is proving to be challenging, as the weather is constantly changing and the forecasts for this period are still subject to uncertainty,” says the meteorologist Meteorologist for
IPPEN.MEDIA
.
According to the expert, forecasts for a period of more than four days are prone to errors.
The German Weather Service DWD also made a similar statement when asked.
Anyone who wants to plan their Easter will have to be patient at the moment.
But it's not just the weather, chocolate prices could also become a problem over the holidays: products from the well-known chocolate manufacturer Ferrero are currently experiencing a price increase of up to 12 percent.
