White Christmas in sight: snow opportunities for the Black Forest!

Villingen-Schwenningen, Deutschland - Christmas approach and the question of all questions is in the room: Is there a white Christmas this year? According to the renowned meteorologist Jürgen Schmidt, there is definitely hope-at least for the Black Forest Baar district. Schmidt, who heads the weather contents in Ingelheim am Rhein, predicts that the region could have a blanket on Christmas Eve. "Snowfalls are possible on December 24," he explains, and points out that black ice threatens on Friday night. However, the big one: After the holidays, the snow could quickly melt again, because the temperatures rise again, like the reported.

The low pressure area "Vivien" could accommodate German Christmas wishes. The temperatures in the low single -digit range are already this weekend, while the east weather situation could provide a colder wind, which also leads to fresh snow locally. In Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg in particular, there are good prospects for snowy days. However, Schmidt warns of smoothness and emphasizes that drivers should be careful, especially at night, because frost threatens. The reports rnd .

In retrospect for the past few years, it has become increasingly rare in Germany to actually experience white Christmas. Data show that in the past 100 years it was only snow -covered between 24 and 26 December. In view of climate change, the likelihood of white Christmas has dropped drastically, which causes resentment among many festive friends. The winter of 2024 has so far been mild, but that could change quickly with the approaching deep Vivien, so that we can actually count on snow on the holidays.
