Overview
- The German Weather Service (DWD) warns of dense fog with visibility locally below 150 meters and of night frost in many low-lying areas.
- Daytime temperatures drop widely into the single digits, often only 2–7 °C under persistent fog, with up to about 12–13 °C where sunshine reaches higher elevations.
- A marked regional split emerges as valleys and river basins stay gray and chilly while the Alps and higher Mittelgebirge see brighter, milder conditions.
- High pressure centered over Europe, identified as Vianelde, sustains stable, mostly dry weather with only isolated drizzle or sprinkles expected.
- Some outlooks point to a colder northerly flow early next week with sharper night frosts, though the strength and persistence remain uncertain.
