After a sunny weekend, the golden October in Germany is over for the start of the week.
A cold front pushes between two highs and clears the way for changeable and very cool weather, said a spokesman for the German Weather Service in Offenbach on Sunday.
Even snow is possible at higher altitudes.
Especially from the center to the east, some rain fell on Monday, and there were also showers from the northwest, and individual thunderstorms on the coasts.
In the afternoon there is the first rain in the south.
The wind is particularly noticeable at the sea, where individual stiff gusts could occur.
The temperature is a maximum of 10 to 15 degrees.
And also on Tuesday there will be more showers, in North Rhine-Westphalia especially at night and in the morning.
Only in the course of the day does it loosen up from the north and the showers decrease.
A moderate, sometimes fresh wind makes the whole thing even more uncomfortable, according to the expert.
The edge of the Alps also has to come to terms with prolonged rainfall.
Above 1300 to 1500 meters, more and more snowflakes are included.
In the night of Wednesday, the snowfall line drops further to around 1000 meters, then there will also be the first flakes in the highest elevations of the eastern low mountain range and in the Black Forest, according to the prognosis.
A 5 to 10 centimeter thick layer of snow could form on the Alps.
This trend largely continued on Wednesday.
The temperatures would be between 5 and 14 degrees - typical for autumn.
