Snow warning for Berlin: Winter chaos with smoothness and snow awaited!

On Thursday, March 20, 2025, a white winter wave is rolling over Berlin and Brandenburg. The meteorologists of the German Weather Service (DWD) warn of violent snowfalls and smoothness that could cause considerable traffic impairments in the region. While the weather in the south still brings mild temperatures with rain, the DWD in the capital is partly strong in the capital, with fresh snow from 2 to 8 cm within a short time. Especially on Thursday morning, when the temperatures are around freezing, smoothness threatens on the side streets and sidewalks, as the Berlin Transport Information Center explicitly warns.

According to the reporting of Berliner Kurier is triggered by deep "Charly" on Thursday. It could be particularly dramatic in the low mountain ranges and in the southeast of Germany, where up to 30 centimeters of snow can fall. The trendy air mass border could lead to extreme weather conditions in some areas - from strong snowfall to freezing rain, which leads to smooth roads and lightning ice.

The upcoming weather conditions remains tense. On Friday, there is a further frost and the risk of track formation by snow and porridge showers. Drivers should be particularly careful and, if possible, use public transport or avoid how the DWD is advised. Even if the air mass border withdraws on Friday, the winter conditions are not over. Warm clothes, winter tires and ice scrapers are now essential to safely navigate through this winter challenge.
