Forecast by DWD indicates a high probability of severe drought during early summer 2025. - Anticipated Spring Season of 2025 Predicted to Remain Abnormally Arid
The German Weather Service (DWD) in Offenbach has issued a balance of spring 2025 weather, revealing a significantly drier season than previous years. The dry spell has been a concern for the DWD in recent weeks, according to their spokesperson. Preliminary data suggests that spring 2025 would rank as the third driest on record, surpassed only by the springs of 1893 and 2011.
While the months of March, April, and May were, on average, cooler than previous years—with an average temperature of 9.7°C—they may still experience a warm-up over the weekend, which could potentially shift the average temperature. The unusually sunny conditions this season have contributed to the increase in temperature, resulting in 695 hours of sunshine—approximately 33% more than the average for the reference period of 1991–2020.
The spring of 2024 held the record for the warmest in Germany since records began. The potential implication of these weather patterns is a hot summer, according to both media and DWD assessments. The below-average precipitation has raised the anticipation for the upcoming summer season.
