Cold and Gloomy Weather Grips Germany at Week's Start

Regions across Germany face snow, rain, and icy conditions as temperatures remain low and skies overcast.

  • The Deutsche Wetterdienst (DWD) forecasts snow and icy roads in higher altitudes, with snowfall expected as low as 400 meters in Bavaria.
  • Bavaria sees the heaviest snowfall in alpine regions, with up to 10 cm in areas above 1,000 meters, while lower regions face rain and sleet.
  • Other regions, including Hessen, NRW, and Rheinland-Pfalz, report persistent clouds, rain, and occasional snow in elevated areas, with temperatures ranging from 0 to 6 degrees Celsius.
  • Northern Germany experiences strong winds, particularly along the coasts, with stürmische Böen (stormy gusts) easing by Tuesday night.
  • Glätte (slippery conditions) due to freezing rain and overfrozen surfaces is a concern throughout the week, especially during nighttime hours in higher elevations.
