A traditional German weather proverb, "St. Burgel geht dem Winter an die Gurgel," associated with February 25th, predicts the end of winter. For February 25, 2026, current weather forecasts across Germany align with this old wisdom, showing a significant shift to milder temperatures after weeks of frost. Cities like Munich expect 12 degrees Celsius, Berlin 10 degrees, Hamburg up to 14 degrees, and Cologne up to 15 degrees. While these "Bauernregeln" are cultural traditions based on historical observations, modern meteorology relies on high-resolution data for precise forecasts. This mild spell offers a temporary preview of spring, though colder phases could still return in the coming weeks.
