Weather warning in Deggendorf: Thick fog endangers drivers!

Today, November 11, 2025, drivers in Deggendorf and the surrounding communities have to prepare for a special challenge. The German Weather Service (DWD) has one early in the morning Weather warning issued due to dense fog. Visibility will be less than 150 meters in some areas, which may create dangerous conditions on the roads. The warning has been in effect since 8pm yesterday, November 10th and is expected to remain in place until 8am today.

Numerous communities in the region are affected, including Deggendorf itself, Plattling, Hengersberg and many others. Drivers are therefore strongly advised to adapt their driving behavior accordingly. Impairments to visibility should not be underestimated, and the correct reaction to suddenly appearing fog is crucial for road safety. Although fog lights are helpful, they should only be used under certain conditions, as the ADAC explains in its article about driving in fog: “The rear fog light may only be switched on when visibility is less than 50 meters” ( ADAC ).

Tips for safe driving in fog

In fog, the ADAC recommends avoiding high beam and using low beam instead. This improves visibility and minimizes the risk of being blinded by the fog. It is also important to maintain a distance from other vehicles: “The rule of thumb for distance is to keep a distance of at least as many meters as you drive in km/h,” explains the ADAC traffic safety service.

In addition, the speed should be kept below 50 km/h when visibility is below 50 meters. The importance of driving carefully and paying attention to the road and traffic behind you cannot be overemphasized during sudden weather changes such as thick fog.

The DWD has announced that it will update the weather warning article depending on the situation so that drivers and citizens are informed at all times. So stay up to date with the current weather conditions in your area.

In addition to the weather conditions, there are always interesting leisure activities available. If you are interested in a great experience, you could visit the IMAX theaters that show a variety of fascinating films. However, please note that IMAX tickets must be purchased separately and seat reservations are not possible ( Pacific Science Center ). This is a true IMAX cinema with barrier-free access that offers great film enjoyment - ideal for escaping to the warmth on a foggy day.

With that in mind, stay safe on the roads and enjoy the recreational opportunities regardless of the weather!
