Blocking High ‘Sieglinde’ Keeps Germany Stuck in Gray, Mild Pattern

A stationary high over the British Isles is locking in a moist northwesterly flow that suppresses sunshine.

Overview

  • The German Weather Service describes the pattern as effectively fixed, with no fundamental change likely before late next week and that outlook still uncertain.
  • Regional contrasts persist as the south and southwest brighten after morning fog, while the north and east stay mostly overcast with some rain; highs are mostly 13–18°C.
  • The new week starts slightly friendlier in the northwest and in the far south after fog, but most regions remain under extensive low cloud.
  • In North Rhine-Westphalia, official forecasts point to dull, damp conditions, though a private outlook from wetter.net suggests a brief, localized warm spell near 20–21°C.
  • Nights turn cooler with lows near 1–6°C, and localized ground frost is possible in parts of Bavaria where skies clear.
