All-time October low recorded in Bavaria

Thursday, Oct 22nd, 2009
Meteorologists on Tuesday morning recorded the
lowest ever October temperature in Germany, as the mercury dipped
to a chilly -24.3 degrees Celsius in Bavaria’s Berchtesgaden
national park.
The bitter cold was measured at the Funtensee,
a notoriously frosty lake high in the Bavarian Alps. Jörg
Kachelmann from the Meteomedia weather service said conditions
overnight were ideal “with brisk cold air flowing in over
freshly fallen powder snow.”
Kachelmann said the alpine sinkhole could register temperatures
as low as -55 degrees in the middle of winter by similar conditions,
making it in his estimation the coldest spot in Germany. But
he said the Funtensee was likely to be a balmy 35 degrees warmer
by Wednesday, as the Alpine Föhn wind is expected to push
temperatures up to 10 Celsius.
The rest of the country will also warm up slightly midweek,
according to the DWD German Weather Service. The Föhn will
heat up the southern edge of Germany to 17 degrees, while the
eastern half will be lucky to see seven degrees. Most regions
will be cloudy, but are likely to stay dry. Overnight lows will
drop to six degrees in the northwest to zero in the southeast.
The northern and eastern Germany will remain dry on Thursday,
but will showers threaten the southwest. Highs will range between
nine and 17 degrees.
