Severe Glatteis Warnings Across Germany as Warmfront Moves South
The German Weather Service cautions against travel due to icy conditions caused by freezing rain, with disruptions expected to continue through Wednesday.
- A warmfront bringing freezing rain has created hazardous Glatteis conditions in northern and central Germany, with the danger now moving southward.
- Regions including Schleswig-Holstein, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Saxony-Anhalt, and parts of Brandenburg, Bavaria, and Baden-Württemberg are under weather alerts for icy roads and sidewalks.
- The German Weather Service (DWD) advises against unnecessary travel and warns of significant risks for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers, with numerous accidents already reported in affected areas.
- Temperatures are set to rise slightly in the north, which may reduce the risk of ice, but colder conditions in southern regions could intensify hazards overnight.
- Emergency services and winter road crews are actively responding, including Hamburg's deployment of 725 workers to preemptively treat roads and pathways.
