The weather in Germany is turning wintry - while double-digit minus temperatures are not yet expected, but with temperatures hovering around freezing, it can be slick and slippery and potentially dangerous for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians.

This Friday, the meteorologists expect sunshine in the northern half of Germany. It can snow in the low mountain ranges and in the southwest, write the experts at "Wetter.de". In the afternoon, snowfalls in Bavaria and Saxony are possible.

During the day, a maximum of plus 4 degrees is expected in Germany - but it feels colder because of the wind. In some regions of the country there is permafrost. The German Weather Service (DWD) predicts the lowest values ​​at minus seven degrees and urgently warns of ice.

While it shouldn't initially snow in the north on Saturday, the DWD expects more intense snowfall in the south and south-east of the country. Experts estimate that later the snow will also reach the North and Baltic Seas.

We owe the snow near the Alps to Deep "Birgit", which is increasingly influencing our weather from northern Italy, according to "Wetter.de". At the weekend, a wintry weather situation will set in, which will also cause light permafrost in the lowlands. The south and east could still get some snow on Sunday, according to the current forecast. Precipitation is also possible later from the west. The temperatures therefore vary between minus five and plus three degrees.

In view of the precipitation and humidity, there is likely to be a dangerous slippery mix on the roads in Germany. Anyone who is out and about should therefore drive or walk with particular care.
