High ‘Vianelde’ Brings Unseasonably Mild, Dry Start to November in Germany

Forecast models flag a possible mid‑month turn to colder air with low confidence.

Overview

  • Under a strengthening high, southwesterly air is lifting daytime temperatures widely to around or above 15 °C, locally toward 18–20 °C, while persistent valley fog keeps some areas much cooler.
  • The Deutscher Wetterdienst reported that a Nov. 2–3 cold front brought showers and prompted light to moderate snow warnings for high Alpine zones above roughly 1,400–2,000 meters during the early‑week window.
  • Most regions turn drier and brighter through midweek, though the north and northwest see more cloud and wind; clear nights can bring ground frost despite the mild days.
  • A peak of 20.4 °C was measured in Garmisch-Partenkirchen at the start of the holiday period, which the DWD described as above average but not extreme for November.
  • Medium‑range guidance, including ECMWF outputs cited by meteorologists, continues to hint at a potential cold intrusion in the second half of November, but timing and magnitude remain uncertain.
