Offenbach, Germany - The German Weather Service (DWD) has released its final report for spring 2025, revealing a season marked by historically significant dryness and warmth. Particular concern has been raised regarding drought conditions in recent weeks.
Preliminary data shows that the spring of 2025, prior to the meteorological start of summer on June 1, has been the third driest on record, with only the springs of 1893 and 2011 more arid. Notably, from February 1 to April 13, Germany experienced its lowest rainfall since records began in 1931, with just 40 liters per square meter.
Despite these conditions, the spring months of March, April, and May were cooler on average than in previous years, with an average temperature of 9.7 degrees. The spokesperson mentioned the possibility of relatively warm temperatures over the weekend, potentially altering the average temperature. Spring 2024 was previously identified as the warmest in Germany since records began.
The historically dry conditions have sparked speculation about a hot summer, although meteorologists warn of uncertainties in long-term forecasts. The DWD report will contribute valuable insights to ongoing climate discussions.
