Late Winter Weather Brings Snow, Rain, and Frost Across Germany
Regions across the country face a return to cooler temperatures, with snow expected in higher elevations and frost posing risks overnight.
- The Deutsche Wetterdienst (DWD) forecasts a mix of rain and snow across Germany, particularly in higher elevations such as the Alps, Black Forest, and Erzgebirge.
- Temperatures are expected to remain cool, ranging from 4 to 9 degrees Celsius during the day, with frost and lows of -3 to -4 degrees overnight in many areas.
- Northern regions, including Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein, will experience rain and occasional snow showers, with glattegefahr (slippery conditions) due to freezing moisture.
- In southern regions like Bavaria, snowfall is anticipated in areas above 600 meters, with up to 10 centimeters of snow in the Alps and potential for icy roads in lower areas.
- The weekend promises improved conditions with more sunshine and slightly warmer temperatures, but daytime highs will still mostly remain below 10 degrees Celsius.
