Spring starts 2025: sun and up to 20 degrees across the country!

Today, on March 20, 2025, Germany appears in the calendar spring, which begins at 10.01 a.m. The temperatures reach up to 20 degrees Celsius in some regions. Spring is particularly noticeable in the east and southeast of Germany, where the sun shines particularly radiant. In the western and northern parts of the country, the clouds are denser, but it also remains largely dry there, reports Radio Gütersloh .

Today's calendar spring starts at the moment when the sun crosses the sky equator and thus changes to the northern hemisphere. This happens due to the equinocium, where the day and night are almost equally long. The exact daily length is about 12 hours, whereby the sunrise and sunset is not exactly measured for the center of the sun for astronomical reasons.

difference between calendar and meteorological spring

important to consider is the difference between the calendar and the meteorological spring. The latter started on March 1 and extends until the end of November. According to Weather know the meteorological division refers to the same months of each year. This enables a simpler statistical analysis of the weather data.

In Germany, the months of March, April and May are assigned to spring during the summer on June 1st. For many, meteorological spring is not only a question of the calendar classification, but also has practical importance for agriculture and nature. For example, many migratory birds return at a certain point in time, which is often associated with the beginning of the spring.

predictions and weather development

According to the weather forecast of the German Weather Service (DWD), maximum temperatures between 13 and 20 degrees are expected for today. The thermometer can only display 9 to 15 degrees near the coast. A similar weather situation is forecast on Friday, with a lot of sunshine and temperatures up to 23 degrees, which is rather atypical for the season.

The changeover to summer time is also imminent. On March 30, the clocks will be presented by an hour, which extends daylight in the evening and makes spring even more tangible. The anticipation for warmer weather and longer days is accompanied by nature with colorful flowers and the awakening of many living things and represents an important turning point in the annual cycle.
