This is weather forecast for spring 2025

The spring meteorological season lasts three months and includes March, April and May. This is a transitional period from winter to summer, so many dynamics can be expected, reports Seven Weather in the latest forecast.

It is thought that the ocean event La Nina will have an unexpected role this season. It is usually difficult to find or see any real influence of La Niina in Europe.

A major factor in this season is La Nina in the tropical Pacific Ocean.

However, although there has been a strengthening in the past two months, there are only a few basic indications of how far it will affect Europe in the spring of 2025. La Nina is expected to remain at least until early spring. But the atmospheric impact of such large anomalies can last longer, covering the entire spring season in the Northern Hemisphere.

La Nina can bring warmer and dryer springs to some parts of Central and Western Europe. But more rainfall can be seen in the southwest, western, and northern parts of Europe, as well as on the Mediterranean Sea.

Severe Weather Europe uses two seasonal models for prognosis: ECMWF (European Centre of Middle-time Forecasts) and Model U n KMO from the Meteorological Office of Great Britain.

ECMWF - Less Rainfall in Spring

The extensive projection of ECMWF shows a high pressure in central Central and Eastern Europe. The low-pressure area is located in the North Atlantic and over northwest Europe, which is a typical effect of spring from La Nina. Looking at the prognosis of surface temperature, you see a warmer pattern for most of Central and Northern Europe.

This is due to the high-pressure and southwestern area from the low-pressure area in the Atlantic. A tendency is also seen for normal to lower temperatures in the southwest and parts of Central and Southeast Europe. For March, less rainfall is forecast for most of Central and Eastern Europe. Again, this is due to the impact of the high-pressure area.

More rainfall, however, can be seen in southern, western, and northern parts, under the influence of low pressure zone from the North Atlantic and the western Mediterranean Sea.

The pressure anomalies on Europe are typical of the spring of La Nina, so it is likely that this model is somewhat linked to its global impact. Warmer temperatures and milder conditions are more likely in the western, central, and eastern part. The central and western parts are likely to see Atlantic fronts from the West/Westland, under the influence of low pressure zones over the North Atlantic.

As for rainfall, more rain is forecast in the southwest, central, and northern parts of Europe. This is expected because of the lowest surface pressure zone on southwestern Europe and the wider area of low pressure on the North Atlantic for northern parts. In combination with lower temperatures, this also affects the possibility of snowfall in early spring.

Although spring is known as the beginning of the warmest period of the year, there may still be snowfall, especially in March. However, according to the latest forecasts for snowfall from March to May 2025, most of the continent has snowfall below normal levels. Of course, this does not mean that there will be no snowfall, but it simply means they are less rare than the average in the last 30 years. A cold front with adequate air may bring a large quantity of snowfall to central parts of Europe, but this is expected not to appear on the monthly average.

UKMO Model: Higher temperatures

Model UKMO shows a slightly different prediction than ECMWF.

It shows a high-pressure area with the centre over Western Europe and a signal of low pressure zone over the far North Atlantic.

The high pressure zone also extends east, covering most of Europe. The temperature forecast largely shows warmer conditions than normal for most of the continent, especially in northern and northeast regions.

As for rainfall, it is seen mainly dryer conditions in the central and western parts of Europe. This is largely expected, given the prognosis of high pressure from this model.

But northern and southern Europe is projected to have more springfall, showing the impact of the low pressure zone in the north and the low pressure zone on the Mediterranean Sea.

More spring rains are predicted in northwestern Scandinavian, where temperatures are still quite low, and low - pressure areas bring much rainfall. /Telegraphy/
