But why are these frosty prospects even coming to Germany in the middle of April? According to the weather expert Dominik Jung, this is due to a so-called air mass limit. According to the American weather model NOAA, this lies across the country and thus ensures that the low-pressure area cannot move on.
air mass limit
The air mass boundary is an area in which two air masses of different temperature or humidity meet and neither of them can displace the other.
Air mass boundaries are typically 20 to 200 kilometers wide. They form when a warm front meets a cold front. Large amounts of precipitation occur at the air mass boundary, since the boundary often remains locally stable for hours or even days.
