Germany Prepares for Windy and Dry New Year's Eve Weather
Meteorologists predict strong winds in northern regions, persistent fog in the south, and potential air quality concerns from fireworks.
- The northern and northwestern regions of Germany are expected to experience strong winds, with coastal areas and high altitudes facing storm or even orkanartige (hurricane-like) gusts during New Year's Eve.
- Southern areas, particularly south of the Danube, will remain under foggy and calm conditions, leading to potential air quality issues due to lingering fine dust from fireworks.
- Temperatures will range from 0 to 9 degrees Celsius across the country, with frost expected in some areas, especially in higher elevations and southern regions.
- The current high-pressure system responsible for fog and stagnant air will give way to a more dynamic weather pattern in the new year, bringing storms and possible snowfall in mountainous areas by the weekend.
- While most regions will remain dry during New Year's Eve, visibility may be affected by fog, clouds, and fine dust accumulation, particularly in low-wind areas.
