The weather in Germany brings wind, rain and rising temperatures "between the years".

The New Year's forecasts look record-breaking.

Winter fans have to be brave.

Munich – Christmas is already ticked off for most of us.

The countdown to the end of the year is on.

The weather over the next few days is tough - and it's getting warmer and warmer.

"On New Year's Eve, even 15 to almost 20 degrees are possible," predicts meteorologist Dominik Jung from

wetter.net

.

"The temperatures are damn high for a New Year's Eve," emphasizes the weather expert.

Weather in Germany: Up to 20 degrees on New Year's Eve - risk of hurricanes in the west and north

Warm air masses from the west flow to us in Germany.

In the second half of the week, unstable and mild, sometimes very windy low-pressure weather is noticeable.

In addition to the exceptionally mild temperatures - "too warm for this time of year" - it will be stormy in the mountains and on the coast.

"Rain, clouds, wind and heavy gusts of wind can be an issue," Jung summarizes the weather situation.

According to the latest calculations, the first model forecasts by the US weather service NOAA with hurricane gusts of up to 120 km/h are somewhat weaker at 80 to 110 km/h.

The European weather model, on the other hand, assumes wind speeds of between 70 and 85 km/h.

Even if the weather models are still at odds, it can get quite rough.

"Extremely warm" on New Year's Eve: Incredible warmth at the turn of the year

However, the weather models agree on the temperatures: It could be the warmest turn of the year in years.

Even New Year's Eve is "extremely warm", according to weather expert Jung.

The values ​​are then between 12 and 17 degrees.

The weather timetable until New Year's Eve 2022/2023

  • As early as

    Thursday

    (December 29), the German Weather Service (DWD) expects maximum values ​​of up to 15 degrees on the Upper Rhine.

    Only on the coast and in the mountains does it stay a little cooler at around 7 degrees.

    Temperatures will drop to between 7 and 1 degree on Friday night.

  • According to the DWD, the maximum values

    ​​on

    Friday (December 30) are between 7 and 14 degrees.

    It remains friendliest in the east.

    It is raining in the west and the wind from the southwest is picking up.

    On the other hand, gusts of wind are possible at the sea and in the mountains.

  • On

    Saturday

    (New Year's Eve, December 31), prolonged rain will shift from the center to the north.

    According to the DWD forecast, it will loosen up later in central Germany.

    In the south it is therefore even sunny at times.

    It warms up to 8-15 degrees.

    "Extraordinarily mild in the southwest with 15 to 19 degrees," says the current 10-day forecast for Germany (as of December 26).

    According to the DWD, there are gusts of wind mainly near the coast and in the mountains.

    Changeable on New Year's Eve in Germany.

Meteorologist Jung: "Perfect for a spring walk"

On New Year's Day, temperatures will continue up to 17 degrees.

"Perfect for a spring walk," jokes meteorologist Dominik Jung in a weather video.

It's way too warm for the time of year.

As a result, December is likely to be far too warm.

The first two cold weeks would have pulverized itself with it.

Was that it with the winter of 2022/23?

Winter 2022/23 seems to be over already.

The ensemble forecasts in the first weeks of January are well above the zero-degree mark, he explains.

"No glimmer of hope for winter fans," Jung concludes.

The weather expert fears that the winter could be one of the warmest on record.

It would take a lot of imagination to read off a winter from the models.

According to the forecasts of the US weather service NOAA for January 2023 and February 2023, the heat will continue in Europe.

However, the ensemble forecast only shows a first trend in the overall weather situation.

Is there still snow?

In any case, the weather forecast does not indicate the onset of winter at the moment.
