Northern Germany, including Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein, is expected to experience rain, strong winds, and even stormy conditions during the evening hours of December 31.
Central regions such as Hessen and North Rhine-Westphalia are likely to see cloudy skies, occasional frost, and potential glatteis (icy roads), with temperatures ranging from -2°C to 6°C.
