Overview
- Daytime temperatures continue to reach double digits in many areas, with Hessen recording about 12 to 15°C and Berlin forecast around 11 to 12°C.
- The Deutscher Wetterdienst attributes the warmth to a sequence of low-pressure systems tracking north of Germany that is drawing in unusually mild air.
- Despite the overall mild spell, the DWD issued Level‑1 frost alerts for parts of southern Bavaria through Wednesday morning and warned of dense fog in several regions.
- Recent nights set rare December records reported by meteorologists, including 12.6°C in Dresden and 12.0°C in Bremen.
- Snow is largely confined to higher terrain, with substantial depths in the Alps and Erzgebirge and many ski lifts operating, and some forecasts suggest the mild pattern could last into the Advent period.
