Overview

• Large parts of Germany remain mostly dry yet often overcast with fog or low stratus, with highs generally around 14–19 C and patchy drizzle.
• A blocking high pattern, labeled Rita and Sieglinde in forecasts, continues to trap moist air near the surface and limit sunshine.
• DWD outlooks and several model runs indicate a cooler, drier air mass pushing in from the northeast around Oct. 13–14, trimming daytime values to roughly 9–14 C.
• Nights are expected to turn markedly colder with widespread ground frost and localized air frost possible in typical cold spots, including parts of Bavaria and northern regions.
• Forecasters note uncertainty in the exact timing and intensity, so drivers should plan for persistent morning fog this week and gardeners should watch updated frost guidance.
