So far the weather has not caused any major transportation disturbances in the capital, except of course for the S-Bahn, which is notoriously unreliable when the weather gets cold. The S-Bahn interruptions this weekend, however, are due to planned construction, the paper said.

The cold weather seen in the north is however expected to arrive in the south later in the day on Sunday. Many parts of the country will experience rain.

The German weather service DWD could not say when spring will return. “That’s up to the stars.”
