On Saturday 4 January 2025, MeteoLux issued a weather warning for early Sunday morning which could affect the entire Grand Duchy; firstly snow, and then freezing rain, which can form black ice, are forecast for between midnight and 07:00 on Sunday.
Later, the High Commission for National Protection, together with MeteoLux, CGDIS, AGE and the Ponts&Chaussées issued a separate warning in which they confirmed that the weather risk assessment unit (CERI) met this afternoon to assess the weather situation.
From midnight, a warm front from the south-west will cross the Grand Duchy, initially accompanied by snowfall (1-4 cm in the south of the country and 2-4 cm in the north). This precipitation will turn into freezing rain from 03:00. Up to six litres/m2 may then fall as freezing rain. As temperatures rise in the early morning from about 07:00 on, it will change to rainfall.
The authorities are warning the public to be vigilant when travelling, to make it easier for snow-clearing machines to clear the roads and motorways by parking their vehicles off the roads and to protect themselves from falling snow.
