Overview
- Local daily records were set on Wednesday, including 21.4 °C in Waldheim, Saxony, according to MDR’s measurements.
- The blocking high known as Vianelde is channeling mild Mediterranean air and keeping conditions largely sunny and dry across much of the country, even as the same pattern fuels heavy rain in parts of the Mediterranean.
- The German Weather Service (DWD) has issued official warnings in Bavaria for night frost down to about −3 °C and areas of dense fog with visibility below 150 meters.
- Forecasts indicate a sharp temperature drop of roughly 10 to 15 degrees by the weekend, with widespread low cloud and stubborn fog holding many areas to daytime highs near 5 to 10 °C.
- Model guidance for mid‑November remains split: some runs point to an Arctic air push toward Europe with frost potential, while others keep the deeper cold to the east, and several forecasters have already dialed back the strength of any cold spell for Germany, including NRW.
