Overview
- - A persistent blocking high over Europe is keeping Germany largely dry with widespread fog and low cloud, and many lowland highs around 5 to 11 degrees.
- - December 2025 is currently the second-warmest on record, and forecasters say it could still challenge for the top spot.
- - The national weather service reports no winter outbreak before Christmas and says widespread lowland snow is unlikely.
- - DWD issues localized warnings for dense fog, frost and icy roads in parts of Bavaria and North Hesse, with visibility in spots below 50 to 150 meters.
- - Some GFS runs suggest Arctic air and severe night frost after Christmas, but newer runs and the ECMWF show reduced snow signals, keeping any late shift to wintry weather in doubt.
