According to the current weather forecast, cold weeks are coming to Nuremberg and Bavaria.
The meteorologist's heating forecast is worrying.
Nuremberg – What was an above-average warm autumn for a long time now seems to cool down more significantly than initially assumed in December.
The weather forecasts for the last month of the year were corrected downwards more and more, now Dominik Jung's new low point forecast is coming in the
wetternet
press release.
There is talk of a "massive advance of cold air masses".
Weather in Nuremberg: It is freezing cold - meteorologist talks about dramatic heating costs
In the current weather report from
wetter.net
, qualified meteorologist Dominik Jung writes that the current forecasts indicate permafrost - also in Nuremberg.
That would "drastically increase heating costs," they say.
Although the exact development is not yet certain, the “extensive cold snap” has been calculated to the same extent for days.
In December it will be really cold in Nuremberg - that's what several weather models are now predicting.

It will be particularly exciting from the beginning to the middle of December, around the 2nd Advent (December 4th) and the 3rd Advent (December 11th), explains Jung.
If the weather forecasts come true, as the current ensemble runs predict, "heating costs would explode," warns the meteorologist at the beginning of the Wettenet YouTube weather
video
.
In the course of the clip he explains the "ice days between the 2nd and 3rd of Advent" - in Bavaria the "ensembles make a leap downwards", the slump is particularly evident from December 5th.

Cold snap in Nuremberg: The concrete temperature forecast
In the various weather maps that Dominik Jung presents in the video and in the
wetternet
press release , Nuremberg is one of the first foothills next to the coldest regions in Germany.
Means: It is not quite as cold in the northern Bavarian city as in some other places in the Federal Republic - but colder than in the rest of the Free State.

In concrete terms, this means for Nuremberg: Between the 2nd and 3rd of Advent, the temperatures sometimes drop to well below zero degrees, and it gets even colder at night.
In times of the energy crisis and drastically rising heating costs (here is an overview of the state relief), the prospects are not good for many people - it is to be hoped that the cold snap will only be short-lived or at least not to the extent that it is predict the worst ensemble runs.
