Weather - Risk of icy roads in parts of Bavaria over the next few nights too
The German Weather Service (DWD) is expecting danger from freezing rain and icy conditions in the coming nights, especially in the south and east of Bavaria. "The issue will continue to occupy us over the next few days," said a DWD meteorologist on Tuesday. The risk of slippery roads and sidewalks will increase at night in particular, also because precipitation in the form of rain and snow is expected again and again.
During the day, temperatures would usually rise to such an extent that the surface would become more slippery again, said the DWD meteorologist. On Tuesday night, the Munich area and parts of Lower Bavaria in particular were hit by freezing rain. This occurs when snow falls through warm layers of air, melts and then freezes again on the cold ground.
Freezing rain, on the other hand, fell on Monday evening, especially in the Augsburg area and in the Danube region, said the DWD meteorologist. This occurs when precipitation freezes again in the air and then hits the ground as grains of ice. "But the effects are largely the same."
