High Vianelde Locks In Unusually Mild, Dry Start to November Across Germany

The DWD points to a blocking high bringing calm weather with persistent lowland fog and locally near‑20°C readings on sunniest slopes.

Overview

  • Germany’s weather is now dominated by High Vianelde, which the DWD says is deflecting Atlantic systems and delivering mostly dry, stable conditions for several days.
  • Daytime temperatures are forecast to reach around or above 15°C in many areas through midweek, with pockets near 20°C in favored locations, while nights can cool to local ground frost.
  • Pronounced regional contrasts are expected as dense fog and high fog linger in valleys and lowlands, whereas higher terrain and many inland areas see long sunny spells.
  • A trailing cold front over the weekend brought showers, isolated short thunderstorms and gusts around 60 km/h in parts of the west and center, and the DWD warned of Alpine snowfall above roughly 1,400 meters with up to 20–30 cm locally.
  • Multiple model runs, including ECMWF, signal a possible polar-air intrusion around mid-November that could flip the mild pattern, though timing and magnitude remain uncertain; seasonal guidance still leans warmer than average for November.
