The weather change brings colder temperatures and locally creates stormy weather conditions. We suggest using the weather warnings issued by the national weather services to prepare for weather conditions like storms. We show them directly on our start page, apps, and the designated warnings map.
As our wind animation shows, several low-pressure systems cause strong winds coming from the west towards Europe. Wet conditions will especially prevail in France and the UK during the weekend, as the strong winds, originating in the Atlantic Ocean, have been collecting lots of moisture on their way. Currently, air masses are moving east towards the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. At the end of the weekend, they also reach Poland and neighbouring countries. Furthermore, strong winds in France and the UK prevail as more low-pressure systems develop over the ocean.
This will cause the temperature to drop so that we can expect freezing temperatures throughout most parts of England, the Alps and some locations in Germany. Precipitation will occasionally fall as snow, leading to a rise in the snow depth. This is displayed well in our snow depth map. We expect snow in North Europe, UK and Scandinavia, but also in the Alps and parts of Germany and Northeast Europe (Belarus, Poland, Lithuania) during the weekend.
You can also follow the current weather with our 7-day weather. For now, it looks like strong winds and precipitation will remain during next week. We show our storm watch directly on our start page to detect strong winds immediately for a chosen location.
Please pay attention to the predictability bar since the predictability for the next days is rather low, meaning that the forecast can change with new model and nowcasting updates. For a better forecast interpretation, we suggest using our MultiModel, which shows the raw forecast data of several weather models. If they align, the forecast certainty is higher. However, if there are significant differences between the models, possible forecast inaccuracies need to be considered, and it is recommended to check the forecast more often.
Stay safe!
