Germany Braces for Storms and Snow in Select Regions Before Christmas

Severe weather warnings issued as storms, heavy winds, and snow are expected to affect parts of the country, with white Christmas likely only in higher altitudes.

Storm warnings have been issued for regions like Saxony-Anhalt, Baden-Württemberg, and Bavaria, with wind speeds reaching up to 120 km/h in some areas.
Snowfall is predicted mainly in higher altitudes, such as the Alps, Erzgebirge, and Harz, while lower regions are expected to experience rain and milder temperatures.
The Deutsche Wetterdienst (DWD) advises caution due to risks of falling trees, icy roads, and hazardous travel conditions, particularly in mountainous regions.
Most of Germany, including urban centers like Berlin and Hamburg, will likely experience a green Christmas with rain and temperatures above freezing.
Travel disruptions are anticipated due to increased holiday traffic, combined with adverse weather conditions, especially in southern and eastern regions.
