High ‘VIANELDE’ Delivers Unseasonably Mild, Mostly Dry Start to November Across Germany

A blocking high now steers mild southwest air over Germany.

Overview

  • The weekend cold front brought showers, brief thunderstorms and gusts near 60 km/h in parts of Hesse, Rheinland-Pfalz and the Saarland.
  • The DWD warned of light snowfall above roughly 1,400–2,000 meters in southern Bavaria through Monday morning, forecasting 5–10 cm and up to about 20 cm in windward areas.
  • From Monday, high pressure VIANELDE establishes largely dry, sunny spells with daytime highs widely around or above 15 °C and locally near 20 °C by midweek, while the north stays cloudier and breezier.
  • Marked regional contrasts persist, with fog or low stratus likely in many valleys and clear nights bringing ground or local air frost despite mild afternoons.
  • Medium-range models flag a possible polar-air outbreak around Nov. 10–15, but forecasters emphasize the signal remains uncertain and under review.
