Current situation and outlook
In contrast to last week, there is little new in the west this time. We are under the influence of a strong area of high pressure that stretches roughly from the Azores to the British Isles. This will not change significantly for the time being, although today (Wednesday) a short frontal passage in the east will cause some cloudy weather for a short time. It will probably even snow a few centimetres in the "northern eastern Alps" from around Tyrol to the east. This should be enjoyed as much as possible, as it then looks like sunshine and little else until next week. The Atlantic high will slide further eastwards and is likely to form a "bridge" to further high pressure over Eastern Europe. "Underneath", i.e. south of the bridge, lies a small, drained low. This will result in a so-called Rex block, in which a high pressure area settles over a low pressure area and does not move away so quickly.
