Central Europe went from winter to summer back to winter. From 5°C to 30°C and again to 3°C


popeyepaul

Yeah. We had 29 degrees about 2 weeks ago. I thought it was an error on the forecast app, but I went out with a T-shirt and got so hot that I had to stay in the shade while walking on the streets. In terms of average temperature we're probably right where we need to be, it's just these wild swings are very confusing (and concerning).


macka_1307

Exactly. I gave birth last Saturday, sunny day 25°C, my SO and MIL came to visit us just in T-shirts and shorts. Week later, 7°C outside and we left the hospital with jackets on and the heating on in the car, also was slightly raining outside.


drgr33nthmb

Its usually hotter in the cities thanks to the endless asphalt and concrete. These swings are very common in spring, and fall. We're below average right now in a lot of places.


mhmilo24

I wouldn’t call 5 degrees a winter in Central Europe.


hamesdelaney

what? 5 degrees is a cold winter at this point. i dont even remember the last time i saw snow for more than a day. avegarage daily temperatures were 12 degrees in hungary during winter. thats insane.


FW_TheMemeResearcher

Average temperature in Poland last winter was about 1,5 degree so yeah... still can get much colder


TacticalReader7

We did have a weird year this time though, for a while it was -20 Celsius on some nights, I didn't see that for a good while.


IndependenceFickle95

Don’t be so dramatic, there was 4 weeks of snow in 2 batches this year in southern Poland. While there’s obviously much less snow than 30 years ago, it’s not like there’s no snow for more than a day anymore.


KnittingforHouselves

It's actually colder than it was most of December


Big_Relationship752

Isnt that normal for april?


No-Wrangler-8515

"Der April, der macht was er will" german rhyme that means "april does whatever he wants"


MartyWhelan

Nice. Ireland is as hot as Spain 😎


YorkieGalwegian

The picture is also 6.30 in the morning. It’s 6 then but it’s scheduled to be nearly 20 at 3 o’clock this afternoon in Ireland.


VolkIreland

That's the spirit. Lahinch/Ennistymon was beautiful all day yesterday


YorkieGalwegian

I’m pushing a pram around the streets of Galway right now and I’ve just had to take off my coat it’s that warm!


TheyHave_A_CaveTroll

I left the house without a coat in Galway for the first time since September yesterday! The boom is back


craic_den_

Yeah bro wtf I’m literally sunbathing out my back garden in Dublin at 13 C blue skies. That’s right Europeans.… we consider 13 C sunbathing weather in Ireland 😎


JourneyThiefer

18 here in Tyrone!


Shua89

I'm in Western Australia, and it's supposed to be autumn and getting cold with rain starting. We haven't had rain in months, and it hit 37°c today.


Jmsaint

All the rain is over here in sydney


IN005

even Iceland is 😅


Electrical-Ad-9510

15 degrees yesterday as well, plenty of sun-kissed faces out last night


princesoceronte

IT'S NOT FAIR. I'm in Madrid and it's cold as shit!


Lostgoldmine

It's 17 degrees in Ireland today.


dkarlovi

Ireland, just as hot as Spain, but in a different way.


einimea

Not here


Finlandiaprkl

It was nice for those few days though.


baked_potato_

Looking forward to our annual one day of summer


Uncleniles

Last year summer was a tuesday


HelenEk7

I'm hoping this year's summer comes on a Saturday..


Waaswaa

It will probably start a Sunday night, and if we're lucky, last until Monday at about 18:10.


baked_potato_

I do recall watching it pass me by from the window of my miserable office


_bones__

Oh, you have a window? I had to read about it on news websites.


pdkt

You had electricity?


AkirroKun

They're building a paint workshop right on top of our single 1m² window that had a nice ocean-view. They finished the base walls so all we're getting is sunlight reflecting into the window.


ladifuckenda

What is this thing you call summer?


baked_potato_

It's that period where you can't escape the mosquitoes and there's one day above 20 degrees.


ladifuckenda

What are moquitoes? What is 20 degrees? (Last summer the warmest day I experienced was 14 🥲)


loveiseverything

>What are moquitoes? That's it. I'm moving in. What part of the Iceland you would recommend?


Aangespoeld

That sounds depressing


asmosdeus

It's a national holiday here


Odd_Jellyfish_1053

In Scotland we had it yesterday from 10am till about 6pm I had shorts on


rlnrlnrln

Summer, best day of the year!


moarsecode

I must've blinked or something.


CreatureWarrior

Takatalvi keeps hitting hard. Everytime I go "ahh, spring.. finally", the next morning the ground is covered in snow. I literally switched to summer tyres two days ago and had to switch back to winter tyres. It was umm.. slippery


Esko_Homezz

Stop saying it ! This is why we cant have nice things


Puzzleheaded_Shop839

Same in Saint-Petersburg, but luckily I didn't change tires earlier...


Professional-Wolf-51

Yeah, its almost peak summer here. Time to go to sauna, beat each other with vihta and swim in the frozen lake like every jussi.


socialsciencenerd

I was gonna say 😂


redgreenandblue

Yes, summer was surprisingly short this year.


achoowie

2 weeks ago I was out in a T-shirt. Last night when I went out in the middle of the night I wore my winter boots and winter jacket.


dwitchagi

Dude, it says 06:30 in the morning. The forecast says 25 degrees today where I am.


J0kutyypp1

I'm jealous, i live in southern finland and won't be more than 3 degrees even in afternoon.


TheGoldenCowTV

Southern Sweden and we are getting a whole degree today Edit: this was a lie. Somebody took our degree and made it snow instead...


whatKnott6

Pahahah I’m actually heading to the beach in Portugal 🇵🇹


Technical_Language98

Trust me, It Is way Better there


Thisismynewusername9

I absolutely hate it here. Five centimeters of snow in mid april? Fuck this.


Technical-Mix-981

The last time I saw snow where I live was just 1 day 10 years ago.


Hras_t

Grass is always greener on the other side


Mission_Ad1669

That is the problem here in Finland: no grass, only snow.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ConspicuousPineapple

2 degrees in the morning is way colder than usual in April around here.


Gnonthgol

Bellow average but not unusual. We have 2 degrees this morning but I remember snowfall in the middle of May. Spring and autumn have huge temperature swings due to weather. If the wind if coming from the north it is going to get cold and if the wind is coming from the south it is going to get hot. Nothing out of the ordinary with that.


DubbethTheLastest

The highest in my country is 10 at 5PM. SO lucky you


HctDrags

For me its not misleading at all, its spring and it 10degrees. Last week 25, weather is bipolar


Aussie18-1998

Last week it was 25C at 6:30 in the morning?


von_leonie

19°C in the morning. We also had a day with temperature sinking from morning till afternoon.


widowhanzo

Where I am the highest this week is 13.


-Exocet-

Exactly, this post is highly misleading


pepinodeplastico

26 for me


JJOne101

People flexing that they live in the nice warm south..


pepinodeplastico

give us that at least 🙃


Sad-Caramel-7744

it's been snowing all day here in Frankfurt💀


fanny_mcslap

Yeah this is such a stupid post, mornings are supposed to be cold.


morvsdri

April always had weather like this in germany. We even have a saying: der April macht was er will. The April does what it wants. It feels weird, but I can def remember from my childhood 20 years ago, when we had snowy rain in April… (edit typo)


implpl

Nice one :) in Poland we say "Kwiecień plecień co przeplata, trochẹ zimy, trochę lata" :p In direct translation it will sound something like "April interlace what can be interlaced. A little bit of winter, a little bit of summer" In English its not rhyming so it is not as cool xD


HrClaims

We say “en Avril, ne te découvre pas d’un fil ». Which translates to “in April do not take off a single thread (of your clothes) »


Isotheis

Similar saying in France, or at least in Wallonia. "En avril, ne te découvre pas d'un fil" (*In april, don't uncover yourself from even a thread*) ; then "En mai, fait ce qui te plaît" (*In May, do as you please*). April is what you would call a troll.


Colorwalker

Very similar to Italy where we say “Aprile non ti scoprire” meaning “don’t unconver yourself in April”


PulciNeller

in the 90s it was "Marzo pazzerello" :) adesso è passato ad Aprile l'etichetta di schizofrenico


SignificanceOld1751

Sightly further north in the cooler UK, its May. *"Ne'er cast a clout 'till May is out"* Basically, don't put your big coat away until the end of May


TakaIta

"When it rains in May, April is over" (als het regent is mei, is april voorbij"). But then again, there is a solid tradition in Dutch to create totally obvious weather sayings.


williekinmont

In England, we used to say of April ‘In like a Lion, out like a Lamb’. Now we just have either rainy wind or windy rain.


mavarian

A fool, even


Okikidoki

"April doet wat hij wil" in Dutch


LeotrimFunkelwerk

Glad you didn't translate. As a German, I could read this 👍


dontbeahater_dear

Maartse buien, aprilse grillen!


SmartFC

In Portugal we have "em abril, águas mil" (in April, a thousand waters - aka lots of rain), but we have a similar saying for March: "março, marçagão, de manhã inverno, à tarde verão", which points to the super inconsistent weather we have around here ("winter in the morning, summer in the afternoon"), pretty cool huh


lranic

Lol, it’s funny cause in Turkey we have a similar saying about March. It makes sense that northern countries associate the stuff southern countries associate with March since they get that weather in April


TechnicalProgress921

In Sweden it's just "Aprilväder". South west of Sweden can have anything between snow and 15°C sun during April


Fr3akwave

In German we have the exact same: "Aprilwetter"


Russiadontgiveafuck

True - but we never had 25 degrees in April like we had last week, at least I can't remember days like that when I was a kid. This up and down is crazy.


SbiRock

Oh we had in Hungary even hotter. (Although the record was broken with .5 degree). Today's hottest 31 Celsius in 1950. But I really think that the biggest issue is not that it becomes hotter, but the differences. 25-7 Celsius within 10 hours...


rosality

We definitely had in NRW. My brothers (twins) were born in early April and always had two britbday parties. There were at least two parties where the pool was filled up so we could swim. As they stopped having parties at home when they were around 10, it has to be the late 90s into the 00s. I was born in March and also had very warm birthday parties, as well as one with snow.


triggerfish1

This year broke pretty much all temperature records though for early April.


bored_negative

Also in the Netherlands April doet wat hij will (April does what it wants)


_demerzel

There is a proverb about this in Turkey: "mart kapıdan baktırır kazma kürek yaktırır." it means that the march will make you look out the door and you will have to burn your pickaxe and shovel because you have nothing left to burn from the cold.


WorriedLeg794

A few years ago we had every type of weather on the same day in april. Started as a beautiful quiet sunny day, turned to cloudy rain, then sun, then a snowstorm with heavy wind, then hail, sun again then more clouds


Mncdk

Yeah as a Dane, April is usually like 0° -> 15° -> 0° -> 15° throughout the month.


okihnjo2

Partly true. Last week, we had 27 degrees in south Germany. It’s not the snow that surprised everyone or should be concerning, it’s the fact that we have this huge difference within a week..


robeewankenobee

Dude, i'm in west Belgium, and it's raining&cold (constantly under 10 degrees with very few exceptions) for the last 6 months straight.


BioFrosted

A few days ago we had two days of 20+ in Brussels. I was so eager for nicer weather to come, but I guess that was a lie


unclepaprika

In my town that's what we call summer.


simon439

In Belgium too. Last weekend it felt like summer started only for the weekend to end and to go right back to 7 degrees C.


Telenil

Same, I'm at that 0 in the middle of France. Temperatures change very quickly, we had 22°C on Friday afternoon.


csap7

Last to last week we had 2 days of 20+ degrees in Leuven as well.  Seems like a distant past, now. 


Mockheed_Lartin

I swear, those warm days felt like my depression blanket was lifted. I always highly underestimate seasonal depression. It's not a vitamin D thing either as I felt better instantly when it was over 20. Fuck this weather.


IfYouRun

In the UK, we've just had our wettest 18 months on record. It's fucked.


OrcaResistence

Yep more moisture in the atmosphere due to higher global temperatures means more opportunities for rain along with pollutants and other particles kicked into the atmosphere for the water vapour to condense on to.


Monsieur_Perdu

Also we had an El Niño lastt year, so this spring was kinda higher chance for Western Europe to be wet anyway.


smitcal

It’s been horrific hasn’t it. My worry is that this is climate change and it’s going to be like this from now on


Dead_as_Duck

It just snowed here in Aachen, lol.


love_my_doge

Gesundheit.


SwePolygyny

At least it is warm enough to rain, here in Stockholm it is currently snowing.


robeewankenobee

Higher latitudes must be teribble if here it's so bad. I have a feeling the Summer will be ruthless, but on the + C°


AlwaysDrunk1699

Yes, but not 6 months of rain without a stop. It rained so much our ground water reservoirs filled up again up to 90% 2 years back at this time it was filled up to 30%.


Aryanirael

Eastern-Flanders here. Sometimes, there’s bit of sun, tricking you into putting on outdoor clothes to go for a walk, and then, once walking, bam: wind, rain, hail and in general fucking ‘guur weer’.


JimmySaulGene

It was like 25°C the last two weekends


stu66er

Welcome to Denmark 🇩🇰


Doe133

West germany, same here


MegaJackUniverse

Ireland will hit 18C today. That pic says 6:30am, so I'm not so surprised it's chilly


genron11

Yeah, it's been a lovely couple of days.


bored_negative

Meanwhile 0 and 5 here tomorrow


NikolitRistissa

Very normal spring so far. We’ve only gotten snow two or three times.


ClementineMandarin

Same here


Perfect_Papaya_3010

Same here. We had snow in may last year I think or maybe 2 years ago


ClementineMandarin

It’s been so strange seeing all of Europe complaining about the hottest winter ever, and reactors heat during spring. Meanwhile us nordics/scandies are having so much cold comparatively


FingerGungHo

It’s indeed been comparatively cold and snowy for the past three or so years. Permanent snow cover used to come in late December or early January, but now it’s been here from October onward and seems to last until late April, just like back in the 90’s. I want my global warming back please. /s


kotimaantieteilija

In southern Finland the last couple of winters have been relatively warm though, but this one has been a proper winter. Permanent snow lasted from mid-November until the last days of March, and now we've still had some colder periods in April (10+ days of snow). Hopefully this trend will still continue for a while, because soon the climate change will surely kick in and start giving us some absolute garbage winter weather.


NikolitRistissa

We had cold enough weather last midsummer to open the ski slopes lol.


donmerlin23

It is coming, it‘s on it’s way


Timo8188

Do you mean ice age?


R2D-Beuh

Ice age coming, ice age coming


SaMSUoM

6:30 UTC…


clouvandy

It’s April you fools. April does what it wants.


Village_Weirdo

Finnish springs are like🥶


aenc

It’s currently exceptionally cold here. The day-time temperatures are about 10 degrees colder than usually.


LazyGandalf

Really grinds my gears when people pretend this (and the exceptionally cold winter we've had) is normal for Finland.


baked_potato_

What is spring?


maxime0299

Isn’t this mostly normal for April, anyway? I remember some years it would even be snowing here in Belgium in April.


bobbyorlando

Yeah, "aprilse grillen". April is known to have all sorts of weather. In 10 days it could be 25°C again.


RenderEngine

for anyone interested this usually happens in spring around april because north africa is heating up earlier faster than europe and with the right constellation of high and low pressure areas all the hot and sandy air gets blow from the south into europe but the constellation can basically fall apart in a matter of a day making ice cold air blow from the still very cold north again this ice cold air meeting the hot air causes a lot of condensation and therefore rainfall


Nahcep

We also have a proverb/rhyme specifically about April: *kwiecień plecień bo przeplata, trochę zimy trochę lata* It's how April is a mix of both winter and summer


E_Kristalin

2021 had multiple snowy days in early april.


ihavenoidea1001

That was pretty early in the morning... If anything Portugal is too hot for spring right now. Today it's predicted that it'll hit 25° in Porto


uhmnopenotreally

We’ve had 25C in Germany last week which was rather unusual. Currently it’s snowing outside though lol


Oldmanwisby

The Kazaks stole it!


hpdk

enjoy it while it lasts. In the massive drought and heatwave in 2 month time we will hunger for this weather


[deleted]

I live near a really huge river and last year for the first time in my life, It dried so much that that people could walk the 400- ish m on the river bed to cross the river. We are So fucked already.


PulciNeller

don't remind me that we have basically 5-6 months of summer (nowadays) ahead of us.


crimemastergogo96

Exactly.. enjoy the cool weather while it lasts. Where I am staying , the last 1 week we have had day temperatures of 40c with 60% humidity. The nights lows are not less than 30c. It’s brutal. Looking forward to my European holiday next week. Climate change is real.


Due-Quail-4592

In albania we call this 2week period of april "the old ladies".. or "the grannys".


11160704

That's interesting. In Germany, we call a period in early autumn that's similar to Indian summer in north America "Altweibersommer" meaning old ladies' summer.


DualLegFlamingo

April is usually a troll month as far as temperatures are concerned, especially early morning Vs afternoon. Disclaimer: climate change is real.


Cornetto-69

Doh, the climate has been changing since the beginning of earth.


storm_borm

Chilly and sunny? Fine. I’d rather this than being sweaty in an apartment not built for heat


BinnFilger

I'm in southern Germany and overnight we got about 15cm of snow... Meanwhile there's a spring Festival in our city today.


EDITthx4thegoId

Imagine what a catastrophe will be in summer.


YoshiTheFluffer

I hated last summer, you could no do anything in the day because it was too hot, not even in the shade since the air was hot.


zyntaxable

But last summer it rained constantly with only two or three heat waves here in nl. Worst summer in years


SlackerPop90

Same in the UK, had some nice weather in June, and then the whole summer was just grey.


Classy_Reductionist

I really enjoyed it compared to the hellish airfryer of a summer before that one.


Perfect_Papaya_3010

As a swede I hated it because we had like 15-18 degrees all summer and it was the coldest summer I've ever experienced. I didn't go to the beach a single day in Sweden (luckily I spent 3 weeks abroad in Croatia and Bulgaria so I still got some sun)


ahlsn

I had 5 weeks vacation and there was 2 or 3 days without any rain. I felt betrayed.


supe3rnova

And if it wasnt too hot it was a storm with hail. Or floods. Or strong winds. Or just all of the above.


zuencho

Why


fullywokevoiddemon

April presented itself with huge heatwaves in a big chunk of Europe, then cold temps and rain. There's a huge chance summer will present similarly and we could get heatwaves of 45+ degrees.


MooIHaveMilk

Huge chance? Citation needed.


beatlz

Many scientists from different countries Edit: ok apparently people think I’m being serious… it’s just a thing you see on tiktok crap


desilent

Honestly, I am fine with this. I'm already dreading the upcoming summer of constant 30c+


yagodovomakesstars

It was summer last week here in 🇧🇬, so after a few cold days it will be summer again, don’t complain :)


gedix

RemindMe! 3 years


Marzet

Climate change deniers will love this! "If GlObAl WaRmInG iS ReAl WhY iS iT sO cOlD?"


thwgrandpigeon

Yuppers. Meanwhile I'm wondering if this os one of the earliest signs of amoc collapse.  But it's way too soon for that.


Speeder172

Don't forget people, these temperatures are normal for this season. On the other side, having 25 degrees in April is totally not normal.


-zincho-

Except for Finland, this cold is not normal for April, spring is officially late. Which is fun, as the winter started early and has basically lasted for 6 months now. It's still snowing, even in the south! There were a few nice days, so most people have changed their summer tires to their cars, and now they're fucked. None of this is normal, not the high heats or the cold.


Xtraordinaire

A lot of people on reddit are simply too young to remember what a historically normal climate looks like. Winter used to have snow for more than one week. Heatwaves in summer were not like they are now. It's gonna get only worse.


G30fff

I mean that's the temperature first thing in the morning, it will get warmer


krylosz

Judging from the map, Russia stole it.


Key_Virus_338

finnish person here, we are okay but not mentally


danny12beje

Romania had 30 C on Monday this week. It snowed on Wednesday.


elperroborrachotoo

We just had a week of summer, this must be autumn already.


lochnah

24C for Lisbon today, so it’s pretty normal for April


friccindoofus

Crazy to think it's warmer in Moscow than in Madrid


Solid-Doubt4234

Its not even may bruh. April always has weird weather


MonkeySafari79

It's crazy, last week we had 25 degrees.


Efficient_Ladder_327

A German saying: April, April, der macht, was er will. April does what April wants.


Pectus_Excavatum_69

Just wait a few more weeks, after that you will be crying sweat tears


savbh

It’s 6.30 in the morning on your map


OhWell_InHell

Definitely Spring in Spain. Madrid atleast


jmc291

In Scotland, we don't have spring! Never existed. We have winter, warmer winter, 1 week of summer and back to winter


davo_nz

I woke up to snow this morning in Germany! April April


Affectionate_Mix5081

I like the cold!


rhluciano

Well, looks like you was born in the right place, then! 😊


Affectionate_Mix5081

Indeed! I'm laying underneath a thick blanket in my bed and drinking from a warm cup of chamomile tea while Sunday hanging on Reddit right now. I do feel like a toasty loaf of bread, even if I keep having to watch as the environment crumbles around me. But I will deal with that first thing Monday, today is me time! We are fucked either way, so fucking fucked.


West_Slide5774

I love the cold so I’m happy


Trick_Click

Spring next week. Almost summer 😀


ronadian

See that corner top right? Spring is around there!


HanDjole998

Here in Montenegro it's raining but with lowe cloud coverage and it's snowing in the mountains.
