Overview
- Germany is under near‑nationwide yellow frost warnings from the DWD into Monday, with nighttime lows commonly between −1 and −7 °C and local road ice risk.
- An inversion pattern is creating bright, milder conditions in higher terrain while many valleys and the Upper Rhine Graben stay locked in persistent fog or low cloud.
- Stronger gusts are forecast in the eastern ranges, with the Erzgebirge seeing storm gusts up to about 85 km/h and around 95 km/h in exposed spots.
- The Bavarian avalanche service reports moderate danger (level 2) above roughly 1,600 meters, where old‑snow instabilities can trigger dry slab avalanches under small additional loads.
- Forecasts point to widespread sunshine from Tuesday for most regions, very cold nights with pockets of severe frost, and a model‑dependent chance of a late‑January snowfall event that remains uncertain.
