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.
