Caution! Fog warning for Höxter: Visibility below 150 meters expected!

On Tuesday, October 14, 2025, the Höxter district will be confronted with an official weather warning. The German Weather Service (DWD) has issued a dense fog warning valid from 12:38 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. During this time, road users have to be prepared for severely limited visibility, which can sometimes be less than 150 meters. The communities affected include Bad Driburg, Borgentreich, Brakel, Höxter, Marienmünster, Nieheim and Steinheim. The DWD's recommendation is to adapt your driving behavior and avoid fog banks in order to get through the region safely. This information comes directly from news.de.

In addition, the DWD emphasizes that the formation of fog can occur in certain areas, so that not only main roads are affected, but also smaller roads and side roads. The obstructions to visibility can occur suddenly, making driving particularly challenging. Anyone coming from the region should pay close attention to the weather conditions and, if necessary, plan their travel times or avoid traffic.

Road safety

Increased caution is therefore required in the next few hours. The road traffic authorities recommend that you only drive at a reduced speed and increase the distance to other vehicles. Fog can quickly create dangerous situations, especially on country roads where visibility decreases significantly in the event of sudden fog.
