Winter weather and cold have Germany under control. There is snow and ice on the streets and the thermometer regularly shows temperatures in the minus range. Maps show where it is coldest – and where it feels frostiest.
There has been permanent frost in Germany for days. Although no new snow is currently expected in most parts of the country, according to the German Weather Service (DWD), there will be no thaw either. Temperatures continue to be well below freezing. Ice and slippery conditions will remain on the roads for the time being, but people in Germany still need to wrap up warm.
The perceived temperatures – i.e. the perceived ambient temperatures – in Germany are sometimes even lower than the measured air temperatures, as the overview in Map II below shows.
