Nice and warm inside - and there is plenty of snow outside for the festival.
The dream of a white Christmas should come true this year.
Munich - snow for Christmas!
The dream for many children (and adults) in Germany will probably become reality again this year.
The first snow will fall in November.
Sledging, building snowmen, and watching the sugary forests and meadows from the cozy living room window - that should be possible this year.
As
reported by
focus.de
, weather models had already predicted the first flakes for November 20th.
But that doesn't work at first, because the first snow is delayed.
Currently there is often high pressure weather and high fog.
No frost, but rather mild, gray November temperatures.
But the frost and snow will probably come before Christmas in many areas.
At the end of November, a low pressure area pushes itself over Germany
It should be between November 22nd and 24th: the Azores high above the Atlantic will suddenly become stronger, the jet stream will be pushed away from it and change its position, and one or two low pressure areas will slide over Germany.
Ice-cold polar air reaches us via the North Sea.
The episode, as
reported by
TheWeatherChannel
: It is snowing, and that probably also in low altitudes.
Because of the warm ground, the first snow does not remain, but because it will probably continue to snow, the white will remain for us, and that until the 1st of Advent.
Ten to 15 centimeters of snow should remain in the northern foothills of the mountains, and up to 50 centimeters in the Alps themselves.
And after the 1st Advent?
It probably continues to snow.
As the medium-term forecasts had predicted, we can expect snow up to and including November 30th.
A closed snow cover will probably only be available from 500 meters up until the 1st of Advent.
After that, however, this could also be the case in deeper areas in northern Germany.
Snow all over Europe - coldest December in the last ten years?
After that, too, there will be more snow, and not just in Germany, but throughout Europe. There is a lot of snow, especially in Russia, the Baltic countries and Norway, but also on the Mediterranean Sea, and also in the Alps. In December it should be cold, the chances of a blanket of snow on December 24th are much better than in previous years. According to climate models, it should be the coldest December in the last ten years.
Also
Wetter.de
's pretty sure about a possible white Christmas in Germany.
A “view of the edge of the Alps” is sufficient for the portal.
Here it is already clear that there should be enough snow in December.
Because the temperatures play a role as well as the precipitation. "The meteorology page is committed:" For a White Christmas it should be enough - according to the current forecasts. "
