How long the weather trend will last is unclear.
However, it is now almost certain that the extremely mild weather of the previous month is coming to an end.
After all, this is anything but normal, as Jung explains: “The first half of January 2023 is the warmest first half of January since weather records began in 1881. It has never been so warm in Germany during this period.
