White Christmas Limited to Higher Elevations in Germany

Snowfall is expected in mountainous regions, while most of the country will experience mild, gray, and snow-free weather during the holidays.

The German Weather Service (DWD) predicts snow for areas above 600 meters, including the Alps, Erzgebirge, Schwarzwald, and Bayerischer Wald.
Lower elevations and urban areas, such as Berlin, Hannover, and the Rhine Valley, will remain snow-free with temperatures ranging from 2 to 10 degrees Celsius.
The first and second Christmas days will see trüb and mild conditions across much of Germany, with occasional rain or drizzle in some regions.
Skiing conditions are favorable in select high-altitude areas like the Wasserkuppe, where artificial snow has supplemented natural snowfall.
Meteorologists attribute the lack of widespread snow to warmer Atlantic airflows and note the decreasing likelihood of white Christmases due to climate change.
