It's in the back of Rick's guide book for Germany. He also has the number of days of (or without) rain.

Yahoo weather is a great place to check on this sort of thing.

You can find RIck's average temps, but really April and May are so changeable in terms of weather, I just lived through 7th spring about an hour southwest of Frankfurt. It can be high 70s-low80s, or it can be as James wrote, 52. And rainy. Best advice for clothes is to pack layers, and in April, depending where you go, you might even use those silk undies.

I agree, an average just doesn't tell you much about how you need to pack for a trip to Germany, especially in April/May. I remember a very nice mother's day beginning of May a few years back that we spent at an outdoor pool enjoying 30 C. And I remember many 1st of May outings I was freezing in the rain ...

Hope for nice spring or even summer like weather - and don't forget a sweater and your rain jacket.

I don't know about "average" temps but we just returned from southwest Germany. It was cloudy and chilly the first couple of days, then warmed up enough to just need a light jacket. Then it was pretty warm for a couple of days...short sleeves. Then it rained heavily. My suggestion? Layers! Be sure to pack an umbrella and some kind of raincoat. Old Navy sells one that folds up into a little pouch.

I also usually check The Weather Channel online before I go. You can get a 10 day forecast, at least you'll have an idea of what your first week will look like.
