Mild December Persists Across Germany With Bavaria Under Frost Alerts

A run of Atlantic lows is channeling mild southwest air over Germany, extending the warm spell into mid-December.

Overview

  • Wednesday’s outlook keeps highs widely in double digits, with Berlin–Brandenburg around 11–13°C and parts of NRW up to 14°C, while many nights remain above freezing.
  • The Deutscher Wetterdienst says successive lows passing north of the country are drawing unusually mild air from the southwest.
  • Southern Bavaria started the day under Level 1 DWD warnings for frost and morning fog, with some Alpine valleys near −3°C and visibility locally below 150 meters.
  • Meteorologists project the mild phase to last at least through the third Advent and possibly to the fourth based on current model guidance.
  • Earlier this week, Dresden logged a 12.6°C December night and Bremen 12.0°C, rare readings that underscore the anomaly, though a sharp pre-Christmas cold snap is still considered a low-probability risk.
