Sunny Spring Week in Hesse Followed by Weekend Cooldown

Warm Midweek: Temperatures are climbing, reaching up to 18°C (64°F) on Wednesday, 21°C (70°F) on Thursday, and peaking around 22°C (72°F) on Friday.

Dry Spell Continues: Following an unusually dry March (receiving only about a quarter of the typical rainfall), no significant precipitation is expected through the weekend, potentially impacting upper soil layers and early crops.

Weekend Temperature Plunge: A mass of colder air from the northeast is forecast to arrive Saturday night into Sunday. Temperatures will drop significantly, potentially falling below 0°C (32°F) at night, bringing a risk of frost. Sunday daytime highs will be much cooler, around 13°C (55°F).

Allergy Season: The blooming season is underway, with reports of high birch pollen counts affecting allergy sufferers.

Why this matters: This weather pattern offers a prime opportunity for enjoying spring conditions before a cold snap hits. The ongoing dryness is a concern for nature and agriculture, while the potential frost poses risks to budding plants and crops. Allergy sufferers need to be prepared for high pollen levels.

Maximize the Warmth: Plan outdoor activities like walks, cycling, or gardening during the sunny and warm weekdays (Wednesday-Friday).
