Overview
- After a grey, rainy and at times stormy weekend, the Deutscher Wetterdienst and regional forecasters say Monday will be largely dry and sunnier across many areas.
- The incoming high pressure clears skies by day and warms the air, which meteorologists say will allow temperatures to climb into the low 20s in some regions by midweek.
- Clear nights under the high carry a real risk of local fog and ground frost in river valleys, lowlands and parts of the south that could affect drivers and exposed plants.
- Forecasts indicate clouds and rain will push in from the west again by Tuesday and that coastal areas may see fresh to strong winds and gusts during that change.
- Models show the mild spell is short lived with a noticeable cooling trend expected from about Saturday and possible snow on high Alpine peaks as temperatures fall.
