Overview
- Germany is still enjoying mild, sunny days and widespread morning fog but meteorologists warn the situation will change sharply when a cold front crosses the country Wednesday night into Thursday.
- The Deutscher Wetterdienst and independent forecasters expect widespread rain and showers with gusty to locally stormy winds as the front passes and isolated thunderstorms in some areas.
- Temperatures are forecast to fall quickly, with regional drops of up to about 14–15°C within 24–48 hours, bringing daytime highs down into the low teens in many places by Thursday.
- The Alpine snowline is likely to fall to roughly 1,500 metres with a chance of lower levels at night, and forecasters caution about localized heavy rain, travel disruption, mountain-safety risks and frost for vulnerable crops after the cold spell.
- After the frontal passage the weather should remain cooler and changeable through the weekend, and the DWD notes some details—notably exact local rainfall intensity and the lowest overnight snow levels—remain uncertain and will be updated as the system moves through.
