The weather in Munich is turning wintery with up to 20 centimeters of snow, frost, and icy conditions. The German Weather Service (DWD) has issued multiple warnings for the city and surrounding areas, highlighting the risk of slippery roads, frost, and light snowfall. Early Monday saw light snow that transitioned into rain, with temperatures reaching up to 3°C, moderate visibility, and southward winds of 7-9 km/h, gusting up to 18 km/h. In the evening, conditions remained wet and cloudy with minimal temperature drops to around 0°C, and ongoing frost and slick conditions are expected overnight. On Tuesday, Munich faces persistent cold and damp weather, with continuous light snowfall forecasted throughout the day. The DWD has issued official warnings for icy roads and frost, with temperatures potentially dropping to minus 5°C. In nearby areas like Bad Tölz and Miesbach, snowfall of 10-20 centimeters is expected above 1000 meters, with some locations experiencing up to 25 centimeters in snow-heavy areas, increasing the risk of icy roads. The DWD has further intensified weather warnings, advising residents to avoid unnecessary outdoor activities and travel due to the increased danger of icy and snowy conditions. The ongoing winter weather includes frost, freezing rain, and significant glätte (ice/slippery conditions), with temperatures expected to remain below freezing during nights. Despite the cold, daytime temperatures are forecasted to reach up to 4°C, with cloudy skies and occasional snow or rain. Looking ahead, the forecast for December indicates a continuation of cold, wet weather with no immediate signs of snow in the upcoming week. The 10-day trend suggests mainly rain rather than snow, with temperatures staying around 5°C. The winter weather has already brought snow and icy conditions to Munich, with ongoing warnings for frost and slippery roads.
