Saxony's Weather Predictions: A Slippery Week Ahead
Get ready for rain, snow, and frost in Saxony during this week. The meteorologists from Germany's Weather Service have issued an alert, warning about potential hazardous driving conditions.
On Sunday, the skies might clear over Leipzig in the morning before turning gloomy in the afternoon. Rainfall, hail, and snow are expected to settle in. Temperatures will hover around zero to three degrees Celsius, while the mountains and Upper Lusatia will see minus three degrees to zero degrees. Driver's, beware! The roads will become slick due to rain, hail, and the stubborn frost that persists.
On Monday night, the roads east of the Elbe will remain dry, but the mountainous regions could potentially transform into an icy mess. The temperatures will plummet between one and minus three degrees, while the peak altitudes might endure a chilling minus five degrees. Rain and hail will drive the mountainous regions, while snow continues to fall in the mountainous regions. Temperatures will rebound to a balmy one to four degrees on Monday.
As the clock strikes midnight on Tuesday, snow will return, painting the landscape with a chilly white cover. The temperatures should hang around zero to two degrees, while the mountains will remain frigid at minus three to zero degrees.
Looking for a brighter future? Hold on, Saxonians! The weather seems to be promising to improve from rain- and snow-filled Sunday to a brief clearing in Leipzig only to greet you again with rain, hail, and snow later that day. Stay vigilant with your driving and adapt to the ever-changing road conditions.
