Continuous rain is followed by frost: The German Weather Service (DWD) expects cold nights in the north, and snow could even fall in some regions.
Now it’s getting cold: According to forecasts from the German Weather Service (DWD), people in Lower Saxony and Bremen can expect low temperatures in the coming days. According to current models, the values are only expected to climb to a maximum of 8 degrees a day on Thursday. But on Friday night the temperatures fell into the minus range. Since snow and rain could then mix, there is a risk of slippery roads, the DWD announced on its website.
According to calculations, it will remain cold on Friday too. First there will be rain, which will later turn into snow. During the day the values reach a maximum of 5 degrees, at night up to minus 5 degrees are expected. However, unlike in the past few days, the wind is expected to decrease and will then only blow moderate to fresh from the east.
Flooding: bitter cold pushes emergency services to their limits
The weekend will continue to be unstable and it could get even colder. The DWD expects temperatures to reach minus 7 degrees inland, and it is expected to continue snowing. Around minus 2 degrees is expected on the East Frisian Islands. According to “Kachelmannwetter.de”, the snow cover is likely to be up to five centimeters in parts of Lower Saxony and Bremen on Saturday evening.
The start of the coming week will also remain relatively cold: with values around freezing point, the numerous emergency services in the flood regions of Lower Saxony are likely to reach their limits even further. The water levels of numerous rivers have risen again since the days of continuous rain, and the situation remains critical. You can read more about the current developments here in the news blog.
