Icy Roads and Freezing Rain Persist Across German Regions

Winter weather warnings continue for Berlin, Brandenburg, Saxony, and other regions, with glacial conditions, freezing rain, and fog creating hazardous travel conditions.

The German Weather Service (DWD) has issued warnings for icy roads caused by freezing rain and frost, particularly in Berlin, Brandenburg, Saxony, and Thuringia.
Temperatures across affected regions range between -5°C at night and up to 5°C during the day, with higher elevations experiencing colder conditions and occasional snowfall.
Freezing rain and overfrozen moisture are creating slippery conditions, with authorities urging caution on roads and advising against unnecessary travel in certain areas.
Sturmböen (storm gusts) with speeds up to 70 km/h are expected in some regions, particularly in high-altitude areas like the Erzgebirge and Schwarzwald.
Weather forecasts predict a gradual improvement over the weekend, with more sunshine expected during the day, though nighttime frost and localized glacial risks will persist.
