Snow warning for Breisgau: Dangerous slippery conditions and visibility restrictions!

Today, November 17, 2025, the German Weather Service (DWD) issued a weather warning for the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald region. The warning applies between 11:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. and particularly affects altitudes above 800 meters. Light snowfalls are expected here, which can reach up to 5 centimeters in jammed areas. This means that residents and road users should prepare for changing weather conditions.

With a snowfall limit of 800 meters and temperatures around 5 degrees Celsius, the weather is certainly not for everyone. Currently the humidity is at 96%, while a light wind of 8 km/h can make the cold seem a little more unpleasant. The UV index, on the other hand, is 0, which indicates that sun protection is not a top priority today. For the affected communities such as Badenweiler, Hinterzarten and Titisee-Neust, an adjustment of behavior, especially in road traffic, is urgently recommended.

Traffic conditions and safety

The DWD warning level 1 (yellow) makes it clear that the upcoming snowfalls can lead to slippery conditions and possible visibility restrictions. Drivers are urged to prepare for this situation and adapt their driving style if necessary. There could be challenging conditions, especially at higher altitudes around the Feldberg, especially for those traveling to work or school.

Current information about the weather situation in the region is available on schnees.com. There, interested readers can view hourly updated weather data and find out about the development of snowfall. A good hand when driving is essential in such conditions!

Outlook and recommendations

It is difficult to predict how the weather will develop over the course of the day. Therefore, everyone who has to take to the streets today should be particularly careful. The combination of winter weather and everyday traffic conditions requires everyone to exercise a certain degree of caution - whether driving or cycling.

Use the time to prepare for the winter conditions. Maybe it's a good idea to plan a trip to the snowy mountains if the weather permits. After all, snow can also have its beautiful sides if you prepare for it properly and take the necessary safety precautions.
