Overview

• After a weekend of storm-force gusts and coastal surge, the DWD reports winds have eased with rain lingering mainly in the south and along the Alps.
• Heavy precipitation continues in Alpine upslope zones, with earlier snowfall above roughly 1,500 meters reaching 5–30 centimeters before the snowline rises toward 2,000 meters.
• Forecasts indicate a drier pattern expanding from the southwest, with many areas turning milder by midweek and daytime highs frequently between 15 and 20 °C.
• Weather services caution that a stable high will trap low cloud and fog in places; in NRW, experts warn visibility can drop below about 150 meters, posing hazards for drivers.
• Authorities still track recent impacts including canceled ferries, flight disruptions and at least three injuries, while advising vigilance for reduced visibility and Alpine runoff.
