Winter miracle or drizzle? So there are the chances of a white Christmas!
Quedlinburg, Deutschland - The question of whether Germany will be given white snow on Christmas 2024 remains exciting. In recent years, the dream of white Christmas has often been unfulfilled because the temperatures are often not enough to drop snow across the board. An analysis of the weather data since 1950 shows which German cities have the best prospects for snow -covered holidays between December 24th and 26th. There are particularly high probabilities in the Erzgebirge, where, for example, an impressive chance of 92 percent in Oberwiesenthal exists for a white Christmas, while the Harz, especially Quedlinburg, shines with 74 percent. This reports ECHO24.
weather forecasts and regional differences
Statistically speaking, Saxons are considered the snowy federal state in Germany with a probability of 34 percent for a white Christmas. In cities such as Plauen, Chemnitz and Zwickau, the chances are between 25 and 45 percent, as Echo24 reports. But there are also less snow -covered regions. In North Rhine-Westphalia, the probability is only 7 percent, while Hamburg remained far behind the snowy areas with 8 percent and Berlin with 11 percent. A year as in 2010, when there was up to 40 centimeters of snow in Berlin, a unfulfilled wish remains for many, SPIEGEL reports.Despite the current predictions, there is reason to hope: graduate meteorologist Dominik Jung affirms that there are already weather maps with snow prospects, which is positive for winter athletes and the longing for a snow-covered Christmas. While the Germany -wide chance for white Christmas is only 17 percent, the prospects in the mountains are significantly better. Anyone who spends the Christmas holiday in snow -covered regions such as the Erzgebirge has far better cards to experience the holidays in shimmering white, adds SPIEGEL.
