Weather Warnings for Tuesday in Berlin and Brandenburg
Brace yourself, Berlin and Brandenburg residents! The German Weather Service (DWD) has issued a warning for fresh snow and frosty temperatures on Tuesday. In the early hours, temperatures will plummet between -2°C to -6°C, with icy roads and slippery surfaces a definite risk. As the day progresses, the mercury isn't expected to rise above the freezing point, with a shiver-inducing high of 1°C possible in the southwest.
Snowfall will be the flavor of the day, with up to 5cm expected to blanket the region. However, in the northwest and western parts of Brandenburg, be prepared for a changeup as freezing rain might make its entrance locally. Winds will be moderate throughout the day.
Nightfall on Wednesday will bring a repeat performance: snow or sleet will make a reappearance in the north-eastern part of the country, while the south-western regions will experience an increased risk of slippery conditions due to the freezing rain. Temperatures will range from 0°C to -4°C.
In the remaining areas, expect mostly sleet or rain, with a chance that the precipitation may freeze. Temperatures will hover around the 0°C mark, except for the north-east where they'll maintain a near-freezing point between -2°C and 0°C.
Take Note:
If you're heading to Potsdam in west Brandenburg, keep an eye out for slippery tarmac due to freezing rain in the evening. Also, be mindful of the conditions when driving towards Berlin from the west, as the roads might be treacherous due to fresh snow and ice.
