Essen (dpa / lnw) – The weekend remains freezing in North Rhine-Westphalia. In addition, winter sunshine is to be expected, a meteorologist at the German Weather Service (DWD) said in Essen on Friday.
Saturday morning was initially misty and cloudy and “uncomfortably cold” with temperatures sometimes below minus ten degrees. After that it was clear to sunny and dry. In Cologne, Düsseldorf and the Ruhr area it can sometimes be above freezing, otherwise there is permafrost, according to the expert. Icy roads and frost also made the road slippery.
According to information, Sunday night will be clear and the maximum temperatures locally will drop to minus twelve degrees. The day starts again with sunshine, before the clouds appear over the west. Starting in the evening, the freezing rain will finally arrive, which will last until Monday.
Earlier in the week, the DWD warns of an increased risk of ice. But then it will be much milder, with a maximum of six to ten degrees.
