A surge of warmth from the Mediterranean will reach Germany on Friday and last into the weekend.
High pressure to the east of Germany and a low pressure system over the United Kingdom will combine to pull unseasonably warm air northward across the country.
The result will be temperatures more typical of mid-April instead of early March.

Temperatures will begin to climb across the south and west on Friday.
High temperatures will range from 12-14 degrees Celsius (53-57 degrees Fahrenheit) from Frankfurt to Stuttgart and Munich.
Meanwhile, highs will range from 9-11 C (48-52 F) in Hamburg, Berlin and Dresden.
Largely dry weather is expected throughout Germany on Friday with intervals of clouds and sunshine, although a shower could briefly dampen the afternoon in the northwest.
More widespread warmth will prevail on Saturday with all of Germany experiencing temperatures 5-8 C (9-15 F) above normal. High temperatures will generally range from 13-16 C (56-60 F).

Clouds will increase throughout the day, and showers will be possible during the afternoon across the western third of the country.
Showers will be possible throughout the country on Sunday. However, most locations will receive less than 30 minutes of rainfall.
Cooler air will sweep into western Germany, causing temperatures to fall back closer to normal while the unseasonable warmth will linger for one more day from Dresden to Berlin.
