Frozen rain - Weather service warns of icy conditions in many parts of Germany

The German Weather Service (DWD) is warning of slippery roads for western, south-western and central Germany until midday on Friday. Since last night, there has been a warning of significant slipperiness for a strip from the Jade Bay to Lake Constance, stretching from the western border of Germany to Hanover, Erfurt and Ulm. "There is an increased risk of slippery conditions due to freezing rain. Danger of black ice," reports the DWD on its website.

In addition to freezing rain, light snowfall is also expected in some of the affected regions. In the west there will be light frost down to minus five degrees, in the south and southeast moderate frost down to minus nine degrees.

The DWD recommends avoiding unnecessary outdoor activities and journeys, adapting road traffic behavior and planning for delays and obstructions. The warning is valid in many places until 1 pm, in parts of Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria until 3 pm. Due to the train drivers' warning strike this Friday, it is hardly possible to switch to the train.
