Germany's Christmas Weather: Snow in the Alps, Rain Elsewhere

While the Alps and higher elevations expect snow, much of Germany faces rain, storms, and gray skies for the holiday season.

Snow is predicted in the Alps and higher elevations of the Mittelgebirge, with some areas expecting up to 25 cm of fresh snow.
Lower elevations, including most of northern and central Germany, will experience rain, mild temperatures, and stormy winds instead of snow.
The Deutscher Wetterdienst forecasts strong winds, with gusts reaching up to 120 km/h in some mountainous regions like the Harz and the Alps.
Christmas Day in the Alps promises sunny weather with freezing temperatures, creating a picturesque 'Winter Wonderland.'
Most of Germany continues the trend of gray, snowless Christmases, with the last nationwide white Christmas occurring 14 years ago.
