Up to 10 centimeters of fresh snow on the Alps!

It's windy on the coasts.

Winter April weather

The North Sea would otherwise cause the air to warm, but it currently has the coldest sea temperatures of the entire year.

The warming effect is therefore only weak.

That ensures quite winter April weather for the next few days.

The weather in Germany only calms down on Thursday.

But even that is short-lived according to the first forecasts.

Weather in Germany: Double-digit plus degrees during the day - at night it gets really frosty

During the day, for example in Munich, there are still double-digit plus degrees, but overnight the values ​​plunge into the minus range.

Even down to minus 13 degrees are forecast for the Alpine region.

So fresh and frosty.

Beyond zero degrees it only stays on the coasts overnight.

Nationwide, the snowfall line drops significantly, probably to 400 meters.

It is also wintery in the high altitudes of the low mountain ranges.

In the north, as a result of sleet thunderstorms, at least a white blanket can cover the landscape.

In the course of the winter relapse, there is also a strong wind, the strength of which is given as 4 to 5.

Which can mean up to 40 km / h on the Beaufort scale.

Occasionally - for example on the North Sea coast - even severe gusts of wind are to be expected, which are measured with wind speeds of 89 km / h.

But all of this is just the beginning.

Because even in the following days, this cool and wet weather will stay with us.

On Tuesday, the maximum temperatures should only reach seven degrees, on Wednesday the thermometer will probably only climb to eight degrees.

The sun only comes out for a short time.

Friday will be cloudy again, but with up to 18 degrees, the temperature will be pleasant.

In addition, the last working day of the short week brings little rain and occasional sunshine.

The prospects for the coming weekend are less good.

Then the clouds should dominate again, to make matters worse, it will rain more again and more snowfall has been announced.
