Germany Starts October With Sunny Days, Frosty Nights and Alpine Snow as Weekend Shift Nears

Forecasters highlight a north–south contrast this week, plus a possible warm surge next week that remains uncertain.

Overview

  • The DWD expects increasing sunshine through midweek but clear nights will bring widespread ground frost, locally dipping to around −2 to −3 degrees Celsius in colder spots.
  • Official alerts in Bavaria warn of dense fog and light Alpine snowfall, with roughly 10 centimeters above 2,000 meters and up to about 20 centimeters in stau-prone areas through Wednesday morning.
  • Northern Germany stays largely dry and bright with daytime highs near 15 to 18 degrees, while southern and alpine regions remain cooler and more unsettled.
  • From late Friday into the weekend, rain and stronger winds spread from the west, and coastal areas could see gale-force gusts according to DWD outlooks.
  • Early next week could briefly turn much milder if Atlantic ex-hurricane remnants pull in southwest air, a scenario meteorologists describe as possible but not yet certain.
