DWD Warns of Frost, Fog and Gusts in Southern Germany as Deeper Freeze Returns Overnight

Drivers face slippery stretches, poor visibility, with brief sunshine limited to parts of Bavaria before a colder night.

Overview

  • Widespread light to moderate frost is in place across Bavaria and Baden‑Württemberg, with persistent daytime cold in some valleys such as Upper Swabia.
  • Dense fog and high fog are cutting visibility in spots, locally below 100 meters near the Black Forest rim and the Alb escarpment.
  • The weather service flags gusts around 60 km/h along Alpine valleys and up to 75 km/h on higher ridges of the eastern Mittelgebirge.
  • Parts of eastern Bavaria can brighten through the day, while low‑lying areas of Swabia, Upper Bavaria and western Franconia may stay under cloud.
  • Temperatures peak near −1 to +7 C, locally up to +9 C in the Alps and Bavarian Forest, before a colder night brings lows to −9 C in the Bavarian Forest and renewed ice risk on roads; the Bavarian avalanche service reports moderate danger above 1,600 meters (level 2).
