Weather in April

April in Germany marks a definitive shift towards spring, with increasing temperatures and longer daylight hours. The east-west temperature gradient starts to diminish, but regional variations based on topography and proximity to water bodies are still evident. Throughout April, daytime temperatures can range from 10°C (50°F) in the early part of the month to highs reaching up to 16°C (60.8°F) or more by month's end.

Coastal cities such as Bremerhaven and Flensburg experience a steadier transition into spring, owing to the moderating influence of the North and Baltic Seas. However, landlocked regions, especially those closer to the mountain ranges, like Stuttgart, can still encounter occasional cold snaps, particularly during nighttime. These chilly nights, though, become less frequent as the month progresses.

Rainfall becomes a more common occurrence in April. The showers, often interspersed with sunny intervals, bring forth the vibrant blossoms and greenery synonymous with spring. While snow becomes a rare sight in the plains and lowlands, higher altitudes, especially in areas like the Black Forest and parts of the Bavarian Alps, might still see sporadic snowfall, especially during the month's early days.

In comparison to March, April showcases a more consistent warming trend, with vegetation coming to life and landscapes transforming. The overall climate becomes more predictable, setting the stage for the warmer and sunnier conditions of May.
