Phew, it’s gotten cold in the country. And it stays wintry. The cloudy weather in many places of the third weekend in Advent continues into the new week, with a largely overcast sky. The meteorologists of the German Weather Service (DWD) in Offenbach expect more snowfalls, especially for eastern Germany, which will move from the Baltic Sea via Brandenburg and the Ore Mountains in a southeasterly direction. People in the west and southwest will probably be happy about a few rays of sunshine between the clouds.
There is permafrost almost everywhere. The temperatures fluctuate between minus 5 and 0 degrees. According to the forecast, it will be warmest on the Lower Rhine and on the coasts, where the thermometer can show up to 2 degrees. According to the DWD, the values in the mountains and over snow cover fall to minus 10 degrees on Tuesday night.
Cold weather with freezing temperatures
According to the DWD forecast, on the second day of the new week it will be cloudy in many places. Coming from the south, it is supposed to snow in the middle of the country. Otherwise there will be an alternation of sun and clouds. The temperatures remain freezing. Winds that pick up during the day can make it feel even colder. Drivers in the south should be prepared for freezing rain on Wednesday night as a precaution. Together with snow and bitterly cold temperatures, this could also determine the weather on Wednesday.
