Essen (dpa / lnw) - The weekend remains frosty cold in North Rhine-Westphalia. In addition, winter sun is to be expected, said a meteorologist from the German Weather Service (DWD) on Friday in Essen.
On Saturday morning it was initially foggy and cloudy and "uncomfortably cold" with temperatures sometimes below minus ten degrees. After that it was clear to sunny and dry. In Cologne, Düsseldorf and the Ruhr area, it can sometimes be above zero degrees, otherwise there is permafrost, according to the expert. Freezing roads and frost also made the road slippery.
According to the information, on Sunday night it will be clear and the maximum temperatures will drop locally to as low as minus twelve degrees. The day starts again with sun, before clouds appear in the course of the west. Starting in the evening, freezing rain will finally set in, which will last until Monday.
At the beginning of the week, the DWD warns of an increased risk of ice. But then it will be much milder – with a maximum of six to ten degrees.
