Hiking excursions or mountain tours are likely to literally fall into the water this weekend: According to the German Weather Service (DWD), it will remain uncomfortable and turbulent in the coming days, while the low "Egbert I" will bring shower-like precipitation.
Shortly thereafter, his twin name »Egbert II« caused unrest in the north and west.
In addition to showers, stormy gusts or gusts of wind are to be expected, as well as severe gusts of wind on the North Sea, according to the meteorologists.
In the Alps, the precipitation is likely to continue into the night with the falling snow line.
On Saturday, a new storm could shift towards the North Sea and provide plenty of wind.
Storm gusts are to be expected on the coasts and in the mountains, which could increase to hurricane gusts on the peaks.
Larger amounts of rain are expected again.
In the south and especially in the southwest, the water levels of rivers and streams could rise.
The temperatures are rather mild between 7 and 13 degrees, while on Sunday maximum values of only eleven degrees are reached.
According to the meteorologists, at the beginning of the new week it will be wet and cold with falling temperatures.
The maximum values should then only be between two and eight degrees.
Then there can probably be snow again, for example in Bavaria and in eastern Germany.
