Germany is in the grip of a cold front. And it’s going to stay that way until at least the weekend, according to meteorologists. It’s snowing, hailing and raining — and in some parts of Germany temperatures have even dipped to below freezing, with thick blankets of snow covering the landscape.
The reason is a persistent cold front, which will continue to provide cool weather that fluctuates between bursts of snow, rain and sun in the coming days. Germany lies in the influx of cold polar air from Arctic latitudes, wrote the German Weather Service (DWD) on its website.
On Tuesday, the maximum temperatures around the Bundesrepublik will shift between –3°C and 7°C.
Berlin will see both rainy and sunny weather, with a high of 6°C. Snow showers will come to Hamburg in the early evening, with highs of 4°C. Munich will also see light snow, with a maximum temperature of 3°C and in Frankfurt there will be a mix of rain and snow, with highs of 7°C.
“The coldest air mass possible at this time of year is right over Germany,” weather experts at Wetter.net wrote. …

Sounds like the Russian front(ice/snow) is coming to Colonel Klink.
Who knew cold air comes from the Arctic?
The pretense is that such weather has never happened in Germany before.
Their solar panels needed a rest.
Solar panels and wind turbines at risk?
Man Made Global Warming hits Germany hard.
Ya mean the weather doesn't stay at 72 degrees and sunny all year? I bet these people went to climate change school.
It's warm then cold, snows, windy, cloudy then it's sunny and warms up again...It's just more proof climate change is real. Good gawd...
Doggone global warming!
Not all that unusual for April snow in central Europe or Britain where there is also some scattered snowfall, I was reading that in late April of 1908 Oxford had about 16 inches of snow, and I know it has snowed in parts of England in May and even the first week of June back around the 1970s.
Forecast models are showing two weeks of sustained cold weather in northern and western Europe lasting to the end of the model runs in sixteen days. March 2013 and December 2010 were also much colder than normal months in the recent past. It still happens, maybe not quite as often as it did in past decades.
As a couple months ago, they will depend on Poland for its coal-generated power to keep going.
Solar panels and wind turbines at risk?
Yes...spring in Germany can be crazy! I remember seeing a cloud burst of rain right in front of me. I had never seen rainclouds that low...up close and personal before. It was beautiful.
It’s Springtime for AlGore! /The Consumers>
Lol. When ISN’T Germany in a cold spell?
Texas says “hello”.
I saw that on a destroyer in the Sea of Japan in 1969. I laughed my butt off. It was especially outrageous because WWII had only ended 23 years before Brooks made that.
Around the same time Hogan’s Heroes came out. I remember that my parents refused to watch it. “There’s nothing funny about the Nazis”.
‘74 and/or ‘75.
Stationed Wurzberg- don’t think I ever took my jacket off all summer.
I never understood the expression ‘cloud burst’ before until I read this post!
