Wintersturm is approaching: Dangerous weather conditions for all of Germany!

A threatening winter weather event is approaching Germany and ensures worrying forecasts. The meteorologists warn of strong snowfall, ice rain and abrupt temperature increases, which can lead to a whiteout in northern Germany, especially on Friday, January 3.. Sudden snow showers could also appear further south and significantly impair traffic.

drivers should be particularly mindful because it stays frosty in the night on Saturday and local snow showers can cause smooth roads. The weather conditions are heading on Saturday, January 4, when strong snowfall threatens in the federal states of Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland, Hesse and Baden-Württemberg. It is also pointed out to the risk of freezing rain that can arise when warm air hits cold, which leads to slippery roads.

expected developments and precautionary measures

to Sunday morning, January 5, the snow is replaced by rain because mild air flows in from the southwest. Up to 13 degrees are possible in the southwest, while in the Rhineland on Monday, January 6th, even temperatures of up to 16 degrees can be reached. However, there is a risk of flooding from heavy rain and melting snow. Road users should prepare for changing weather conditions and take appropriate precautions to remain safe.
