Germany Braces for Unsettled Weather with Rain, Snow, and Glatteis

Regions across Germany face a mix of rain, snow, and icy roads, with gradual clearing expected by the weekend.

The Deutsche Wetterdienst (DWD) forecasts rain, snow, and icy conditions across various regions, including Bavaria, Saxony, and Berlin-Brandenburg, through Friday.
Morning fog is expected to reduce visibility, with dense patches reported in areas like Berlin and Brandenburg, where sightlines could drop below 150 meters.
Snowfall is likely in higher altitudes, particularly above 500 meters, with regions like the Harz and the Alps seeing accumulations and potential glatteis (black ice).
Temperatures are forecasted to range between 5 to 10 degrees Celsius during the day, dropping to as low as -4 degrees Celsius at night, increasing the risk of icy roads.
Conditions are expected to improve by the weekend, with drier weather and occasional sunny intervals predicted, especially in southern and western Germany.
