As the year draws to a close, Germany braces for a stormy New Year's Eve. Meteorologists predict strong winds, with gusts potentially reaching over 100 km/h, particularly affecting northern regions like Schleswig-Holstein, Bremen, and Hamburg. These conditions could lead to the cancellation of fireworks displays. A severe hurricane low is expected to first impact Great Britain before moving towards Germany.
Throughout the country, the weather forecast paints a picture of gloomy skies, rain, and wind. Northern Germany can anticipate grey, wet conditions with temperatures ranging from 2 to 6°C. In contrast, southern regions might see some sunshine, although lower temperatures and frost are expected in areas like Hessen, where fog and freezing conditions could cause slippery roads.
New Year's Day will bring dense clouds and more rain, with the north remaining mostly overcast, while parts of the south might experience clearer skies. As the week progresses, colder and changeable weather is anticipated. Despite the dreary weather forecast, the end of the year will be marked by a mix of mild temperatures and stormy winds, reminding residents to prepare for a blustery transition into the new year.
