Snow alarm in Bamberg: cold brings winter magic this weekend!
Saturday, November 15, 2025, will bring a change in the weather for the Bamberg region that is quite something. How bamberg-meine-stadt.de reported, the week will initially be mild, with temperatures reaching up to 15 degrees on Friday. This is due to a low called Odin, which is bringing warm air masses to us from North Africa. But this idyll is quickly ended because on Friday evening the wind turns from the north and initiates a significant drop in temperature.

Meteorologists expect widespread snowfall, especially on the night of Sunday, November 16th. Temperatures between 0 and -3 degrees are expected in Bamberg, and snowflakes could be found in the precipitation.
A look at the coming week
At the weekend the weather will be cloudy - we can expect rain or possibly snow, with daily temperatures around 10 degrees. But that could be just the beginning: a 70 percent chance of cold, wet weather is forecast between November 18th and 20th, with the first snowflakes likely to fall mainly in the morning and evening. Daily temperatures are expected to be between 0 and 5 degrees, meaning the first winter conditions are in sight.

Be careful on the roads
Drivers are expected to face a risk of slippery roads and paths. Therefore, it is time to install winter tires as they provide better grip and shorter braking distances at temperatures below 7 degrees. It is also recommended to be vigilant, especially at night, when temperatures everywhere drop below freezing and conditions can be slippery.
The current weather models are divided: While the ECMWF speculates on early winter conditions with snow extending into the low mountain ranges, the GFS expects milder temperatures and little snow. What is certain, however, is that the dynamics of the weather situation are bringing about promising changes, and a “big weather change” for Germany seems imminent. What awaits us between the 2nd and 3rd Advent could be decisive for what the winter of 2025/26 will be like for all of us.
Overall, the weather situation remains exciting and varied. Once again it shows that we in Bavaria have to prepare for everything that winter has to offer!
