Chilly Days Ahead with Fog and Frost

The northern regions of Germany are set to experience a spell of wintry weather marked by overcast skies and chilly temperatures. The mercury is expected to hover between 2 and 7 degrees Celsius, with sleet likely in higher altitudes and drizzle in the lowlands. As night falls, a thick blanket of fog is anticipated, bringing with it the risk of frost, especially in southeastern areas where temperatures may plummet to -3 degrees.

Elsewhere, regions like North Rhine-Westphalia and Saxony will see similar frosty conditions with temperatures ranging from -5 to 5 degrees. The fog will continue to pose a hazard, reducing visibility to under 150 meters in some areas.

In the east, including Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia, the weather will remain cold with frost and potential icy patches, especially overnight, with lows dipping to -5 degrees. The weekend promises slightly better conditions, though frost will persist.

Overall, the German Weather Service has issued warnings concerning fog and frost, urging caution on the roads. As the weather remains unpredictable, residents are advised to prepare for an extended period of cold and cloudy weather.
