Light snowfall is possible on Wednesday from central Germany to the east, even at low altitudes. Meteorologists are expecting snow showers on the coasts. Otherwise, it will remain sunny and people can look forward to longer sunny spells, especially on the edge of the Alps. Highs will be between freezing and six degrees on the Upper Rhine.

It is expected to rain frequently in the south, and caution is advised on the roads in Bavaria and the higher mountain regions: There is reportedly a considerable risk of slippery conditions there. In the north, it will be dry in many places and sunny at times.
The upcoming weather forecast predicts snow in various regions of Germany, as mentioned by the DWD. This snowfall is expected to cause slippery roads in some areas, particularly in the north-east and the higher mountain regions of Bavaria.
