Germany’s Mild, Gray Stretch Persists as Forecasts Point to a Colder Turn Next Week

Forecasters say a blocking high will give way early next week to a cooler continental flow that could bring patchy frost.

Overview

  • A stagnant high-pressure pattern is keeping much of Germany calm, mostly dry and murky, with widespread fog and low cloud limiting sunshine and daytime highs commonly around 12 to 19 degrees Celsius.
  • The Deutscher Wetterdienst notes poor morning visibility in many low-lying areas, light winds, and only isolated light rain or drizzle, with western regions staying largely dry into the new week.
  • From roughly Monday to Tuesday (13–14 October), model guidance signals a shift to northeasterly continental air, lowering daytime temperatures to roughly 7 to 14 degrees and increasing the risk of ground frost and localized air frost.
  • Bavaria and parts of the east are highlighted for the sharpest overnight cooling, with some forecasts showing subzero readings in colder spots, while others frame the change as a modest cool-down rather than a true winter snap.
  • Regional outlooks show a dull, cloud-dominant weekend for Berlin-Brandenburg and NRW, occasional clearing in the southwest if fog lifts, and continued low precipitation overall under the Omega-style block.
