It was very cold, there was a lot of snow. Be prepared for cold weather, limited opportunities for outdoor recreation and short days. Not suitable if you are looking for warmth.
DaphneDaytime temperatures ranged between 20 and 25 degrees, with occasional light thunderstorms. Although humidity could be high, most days were sunny and pleasant for outdoor activities.
Ilse van ProoijenCool temperatures and frequent gray days were not bright spots. Compared to the summer sun, November gets gray and cold. Dresden is getting warm.
TamarExpect the unexpected: sometimes it rained a little, sometimes it was sunny. Bring an umbrella and sunscreen!
LarsUnfortunately, this undermined our plans to get active or visit local gems. A typical winter indeed!
BramIt rained often and sometimes even snowed. A warm coat is a must.
