Snow Expected in Higher Regions of Germany for Christmas
While much of Germany will see gray skies and rain, alpine and mountainous areas are likely to experience a white Christmas.
- Meteorologists predict snow in the Alps and elevations above 600 meters, with up to 25 cm expected in some areas like the Allgäu.
- Regions at lower altitudes, including most of northern and western Germany, will likely experience rain, mild temperatures, and occasional storms.
- Christmas Eve may bring fleeting snow showers in areas above 300–400 meters, but snow is unlikely to persist in lower regions.
- The first and second Christmas days promise sunny, frosty conditions in alpine valleys, contrasting with gray, foggy weather in much of the country.
- A high-pressure system settling over Germany is expected to bring stable but gloomy weather patterns through the holiday week.
