Record November Warmth in Central Europe Set to Collapse Into Weekend Chill

A blocking high over Eastern Europe is funneling Mediterranean warmth into Central Europe.

Overview

  • Germany logged unusual early‑November highs around 20–21°C with new daily records confirmed in Saxony, including 21.4°C in Waldheim.
  • The DWD attributes the mild spell to high‑pressure system Vianelde drawing in mild air, while issuing official frost and fog advisories for parts of Bavaria.
  • Forecasts now point to a sharp downturn by the weekend, with many areas dropping to roughly 5–10°C under persistent fog and low clouds from a strong inversion.
  • Looking beyond the weekend, some model runs suggest an Arctic air push toward mid‑November, though the track and snowfall prospects remain uncertain and many scenarios stay relatively dry.
  • The same blocking pattern steering sunshine over Germany is channeling active lows into the Mediterranean, where models indicate bouts of heavy rain and storms.
