Sometimes it’s just enough to drive you crazy: After weeks of early spring, even in the Eifel, winter is returning just in time for the season opener of the NLS 2026. Although temperatures will be above freezing, snow showers cannot be ruled out on Saturday morning.
Towards the afternoon, the weather is expected to improve, but it will remain cloudy all day. The expected maximum temperatures are in the low range at five to seven degrees. Winter clothes or warming up by taking a walk along the trackside are recommended.
The wind is blowing from a northwesterly direction, which corresponds to the typical weather pattern. The Atlantic current brings low-pressure systems and precipitation, which, as mentioned, are expected to concentrate in the morning.
