Overview
- The German Weather Service warns of widespread stiff to storm-force gusts, forecasting around 85 km/h at the North Sea and near-hurricane peaks of roughly 100–105 km/h on high summits such as the Brocken.
- Bands of rain and isolated thunderstorms accompany a marked cool-down, with daytime highs mostly between 5 and 14°C and unsettled conditions lingering into Monday.
- Snow is reported in the Alps and higher Mittelgebirge, with the snow line generally near 700–1,000 meters and locally dropping to about 500–700 meters in some regions.
- Coastal hazards persist, with regional reports noting a storm surge that flooded parts of Hamburg’s fish market and authorities warning of fallen trees and travel disruptions.
- Forecast ensembles from GFS, ECMWF and ICON indicate a potential warm-air intrusion around 1–2 November that could lift temperatures to roughly 17–23°C, particularly in the west and southwest, contingent on evolving model solutions.
