Overview
- Forecasters expect widespread daytime temperatures around 10–15°C with peaks up to about 18°C in the southwest early this week.
- The DWD projects double‑digit highs across regions including Bavaria and Saxony‑Anhalt, with Bavaria locally reaching 16°C and Saxony‑Anhalt near 13–14°C.
- Successive Atlantic systems are bringing periods of rain and gusty winds, with heavy precipitation risk on west‑facing Alpine slopes and storm‑force gusts on high peaks.
- Meteorologists see little chance of a marked cooldown before roughly December 18, pointing to a persistent west‑to‑southwest flow.
- Current projections raise the likelihood of a largely snowless Christmas for most areas, though forecasters note the outlook could change, and temperatures remain below the 1989 December record of 24°C.
