Gonna Be a Scorcher - Sun-Kissed May Weather Ahead
Warming trends persist - Encountering progressively sunny days, typical of the spring season - Warm weather forecast for May, with sunny skies ahead.
Here's the scoop for the upcoming weekend: The weather whizzes at the German Weather Service (DWD) have anticipated a whole lotta sunshine for both Saturday and Sunday. You can expect only the occasional fluffy cumulus clouds and temperatures soaring up to 25°C. As one DWD expert puts it, "This weekend is shaping up to be a real treat!" And let's forget about rain, unless you're high-altitude adventurer in the Black Forest Highlands on Sunday, who might encounter a smidgen of showers.
There's a bit of a zephyr in the air too, an easterly wind that shouldn't put a dampener on the pre-summer vibe. "Don't be surprised if your napkin takes a trip across the table," he said. The nights may still be cool, but you won't need to worry about frost just yet – it's a super-rare occurrence, like on Saturday night in low-lying Black Forest or Swabian Alb areas. Gardeners can breathe easy.
After a warm and sunny May 1st, the weather took a bit of a chill – good news for strawberry and asparagus farmers, as a spokesperson for the Association of South German Asparagus and Strawberry Growers (VSSE) said. The asparagus slowed its growth, becoming even more aromatic. As for strawberries, just starting to be harvested in open fields, the cooler temperatures added a touch of firmness and sweetness.
