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.
