Weather alarm: Snow and cold threaten in Northern Hesse!

Spring in Kassel and North Hesse brings spring -like temperatures these days. But the coming Monday could bring a striking turn in the weather, as reported by the HNA . The temperatures have increased to over 15 degrees Celsius in the past few days.

The German Weather Service (DWD) reports that falling temperatures and unstable weather are expected under the influence of a low pressure area. A significant drop in temperature could reduce the maximum values ​​to single -digit numbers. The prediction also indicates probable rainfall, with the possibility of "hourly snow". This means that there can be closed snow cover at short notice, but which quickly defrost again.

Details on weather development

According to the DWD forecast, the temperatures drop to one degree on Tuesday night. During the day it remains cloudy to heavily cloudy, occasional rainfalls are possible. A similar weather situation is expected on Wednesday night; It is cloudy with a little rain, whereby snow can also fall in high layers. Here the temperatures could drop to zero degrees while reaching up to ten degrees during the day.

For the night of Thursday, slight rain is predicted, which can occur in the northern mountain country as snow or freezing drizzle. The temperatures could fall to minus one degree, which brings with an increased glading risk. The 10-day trend shows that temperatures over ten degrees are not in sight in the near future.

climatic relationships

These short -term weather changes are part of a more comprehensive climate change that is also noticeable in Germany. According to the Federal Environment Agency , the anthropogenic greenhouse effect will continue to cause changes in the climate system. Estimates forecast a global increase in temperature up to 2100 from 1.4 to 4.4 degrees Celsius, depending on the greenhouse gas emissions.

Europe could even experience faster warming than the global average. The average annual temperature in Europe has already been 2.12 to 2.19 degrees Celsius in the past decade than pre -industrial. Forecasts indicate a massive increase in extreme weather events, with more frequent and more intensive heat waves as well as an increase in heavy ranges and drought in southern Europe.

The current weather conditions in Kassel are therefore not only a short -term phenomenon, but can also be seen in the context of long -term climate changes that influence both people and nature. The next few days will show whether Kassel will actually be affected by the forecast weather.
