Just in time for April, the weather is going crazy, even winter is returning. There is snow in many regions in Germany.
Update from Friday, April 1st, 2022, 10:42 a.m.: As already announced by weather experts, winter is back again. There has been snowfall in individual regions of Germany since Thursday (March 31, 2022). While on Monday (March 28th, 2022) the weather was still bombastic in Regensburg with a peak of 23 degrees, there is now frost again. “A whopping 20 degree crash,” says the graduate meteorologist Dominik Jung.
In the meantime, the snow has reached other cities in Germany besides Hamburg. Hanover and Kassel, for example, report snowfall. In addition, the Black Forest and the Swabian Jura are now white. “Frankfurt, Mainz, Stuttgart, or perhaps Freiburg will also be able to do this later. The snowfalls spread from the center to the south and southwest. At night it snows all the way down to the rivers, otherwise it can sometimes be sleet or snow below 100 to 200 meters. Winter is here again,” Jung told the weather portal wetter.net.
While the German Weather Service (DWD) has announced snowfall for the middle of Germany, the south and the edge of the Alps, there are sometimes wind and gusts of wind in the northern half. On the streets, general attention should be paid. It can be slippery due to the snow and freezing wet. The night from Saturday to Sunday is particularly cold throughout Germany. Minus 2 to minus 10 degrees are expected. You should therefore drive carefully in the morning, said a spokesman for the German Weather Service.

Snow front is approaching Germany – expert warns of “violent weather change”
First report from March 30th, 2022: Kassel – April is just around the corner and the weather* is giving us another turnaround. After renewed Sahara dust and blood rain over Germany, we now have to reckon with polar air and a snow front. Meteorologists warn of a violent change in the weather.
As early as Wednesday (March 30th, 2022) there may be snow over the low mountain ranges, reports Jan Schenk. According to the weather expert from The Weather Channel On Friday (April 1st, 2022) the snow will spread over the whole south of Germany. In the Alps there could well be another 20 centimeters of fresh snow.
Suddenly winter weather in Germany: deep snow chaos in April
Deep Jana should bring real weather chaos to Germany at the turn of the month. “Spring is over for now,” reports weather expert Dominik Jung wetter.net. From Thursday evening (March 31, 2022), the rainfall in western Germany is expected to increasingly turn into sleet and snow. From 400 to 500 meters there can be severe traffic obstructions. In the night to Friday and on Friday itself there can be snowflakes down to low altitudes. However, the snow shouldn’t stay put.
According to Jung, a snow cover of more than 400 to 500 meters is quite conceivable. On Friday morning, snow must be expected in parts of North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, Hesse, in the south of Lower Saxony, in Saarland, in Thuringia, Saxony and in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. “Especially at higher altitudes, the roads can become slippery, sometimes there are severe obstructions,” warns the meteorologist.
