The maximum values for the weather * are between -1 degrees in Western Pomerania and 7 degrees on the Upper Rhine. “In the north-east there is a slight permafrost, more than 0 degrees are hardly reached there. It’s wintry there, otherwise it’s rather dingy and wet and cold, ”summarizes Wetterfrosch Jung.
Snow * into the lowlands on Tuesday morning is also possible according to the forecast by the German Weather Service (DWD). The precipitation coming from the west falls consistently above 300 to 400 meters as snow, at lower altitudes partly as rain, partly as snow.

Winter forecast: the prospects for December 2021
“The winter can still not establish itself permanently. December 2021 is no comparison to the last extremely cold December 2021. At that time, it brought snow loads all over Germany and night frosts below minus 20 degrees. On the other hand, we are currently experiencing a dumpy winter again: wet and cold and just dirty weather, ”says meteorologist Jung.
From the 3rd Advent it will probably be a little milder. Individual weather models even calculate 13 or 14 degrees in the southwest. White surprises and a bit of winter are usually only available at night. Then the roads can become very slippery and slippery for a short time.
