Germany Turns Mild as Maritime Air Delivers Sun, Fog Banks and Local Ice Risks

DWD flags a mostly dry, milder spell through early next week, with stubborn low cloud, overnight freezing and mountain hazards still likely.

Overview

  • Daytime highs reach up to about 12°C in parts of Bavaria and some lowlands, while many valleys and eastern areas stay cooler under persistent high fog.
  • Forecasts call for largely dry, often sunny weather through the weekend, with regional Hochnebel keeping skies dull in central and eastern Germany, including Berlin/Brandenburg.
  • Night and early morning frost continue to produce isolated icy patches, with police in Vogtland reporting one to two minor glätte accidents overnight.
  • Strong southeast gusts from the ‘Böhmische Wind’ are expected in the Oberlausitz and Osterzgebirge, with peaks near 70 km/h on exposed ridges.
  • Warming in the Bavarian Alps is increasing the risk of slab avalanches, and authorities urge caution for skiers and hikers.
