High 'Sieglinde' Brings Sunshine by Day, Sharp Frost by Night Across Germany

Forecasters warn of ground frost down to minus 8°C and slippery mornings this weekend before a wetter, windier Atlantic pattern returns next week.

Overview

  • After a grey, foggy stretch, drier air under High Sieglinde will break low clouds on Saturday, bringing more sun and largely dry conditions.
  • Widely cold nights from Saturday into Sunday will bring ground frost and localized air frost, with the east dipping to around minus 3°C and cold spots near minus 8°C at the surface.
  • The DWD flags risk of morning glätte from freezing moisture, and experts urge gardeners to protect sensitive plants and motorists to prepare winter equipment.
  • From early next week, Atlantic lows are forecast to reassert themselves, turning the weather milder, wetter and windier across much of the country.
  • Model projections point to notable late‑October rainfall accumulations in the west, with parts of NRW near 90 l/m² and western Baden‑Württemberg up to about 100 l/m².
