January is usually the coldest month and there is a chance of snow: will it be the same in 2021?
Experts have good news for the low mountain range.
Munich -
From around January 6th, experts can say more precisely
what
weather
*
January will bring.
Because then one condition must be met above all so that the
dream winter
with snow and sun still sets in: Large parts of Russia and Northern Europe must be covered with
snow
*
.
This is the only way to get
cold production going
over the rest of
Europe
- and thus also
bring
winter weather to Germany, the experts from
Wetter.com explain
.
A “weak wind high pressure weather situation” then has to be added.
Even now, however, one scenario is considered particularly likely for January: The lowlands and the foothills of the Alps could expect colder temperatures - but even at a maximum of 5 degrees this is not cold enough for enough snow.
Even larger amounts of precipitation can then not ensure a closed snow cover.
Over the
low mountain
ranges,
however
, the
weather situation
could
offer
perfect
snowfall conditions
and thus
conjure
up an
exceptional
winter.
This applies to both the west with the Kahler Asten and the east with the Fichtelgebirge, say the experts from
Wetter.de
.
Heavy snowfalls could provide winter joy here.
Germany weather in January: Coldest month on average
An
average January
shows in Germany, according
Wetter.com
with the following values:
temperature |
- 0.5 degrees |
Sunshine duration |
1.6 hours per day |
Total precipitation |
61 liters / square meter |
High winter with snow and cold |
especially in the second half of January |
But the data from previous years show it:
January
is currently up to 3.5 degrees above average.
This could mean that it could become warmer than the
-0.5 degrees average temperature
in 2021
.
Long-term weather for January 2021 in Germany:
Long-term prognoses
can mainly be made using global
weather computers
.
They are not used for precise forecasting, but are used for forecasting trends.
The energy industry, for example, uses results.
Experience from recent years also shows that January is known for its violent
storms
.
Especially towards the end of the month,
hurricanes
with violent
wind speeds
often
break out
over Germany.
