Cold and Cloudy Weather Persists Across Germany with Snow in Higher Regions

A mix of rain, snow, and fog dominates the forecast, while slight improvements are expected over the weekend.

Sachsen and other regions in Germany face a cold and cloudy day with rain and snowfall in higher altitudes, such as the Zittauer Gebirge and Vogtland.
Temperatures range from 4 to 7 degrees Celsius in lowlands and drop to -1 to 3 degrees Celsius in mountainous areas; nighttime lows reach -3 degrees Celsius with fog in some areas.
The Deutscher Wetterdienst warns of potential glatteis (icy conditions) in certain regions, especially at night and in areas with snowfall or freezing rain.
The weekend is expected to bring some weather relief with drier conditions and occasional sunshine, though temperatures will remain cool, peaking at around 10 degrees Celsius.
Saharan dust in the atmosphere may cause a milky sky effect in parts of Germany, but no significant ground-level impact is anticipated.
