Snow for Christmas? Forecasts for Rhineland-Palatinate are worried!
The longing for white Christmas will be disappointed in Rhineland-Palatinate this year. According to current weather forecasts, which were provided by both the German Weather Service (DWD) and meteorologists such as Ulrike Zenkner and Peter Schwarz, the probability of snow in the lowlands remains a maximum of 10 percent. Instead, mild temperatures between 4 and 8 degrees can be expected, which rather indicates green holidays. While the larger river valleys such as Mainz, Koblenz and Trier remain almost snow -free, at high altitudes over 600 meters, such as the ridges of Eifel and Hunsrück, there is a little chance of snow - but there is also no continuous snow, such as the SWR reported .
snow to the festival: a rare sight
Historically, white Christmas in the lowlands of Germany are a rarity. An evaluation of the past few decades shows that the chances for a snow -capped Christmas in the low mountain ranges and regions close to the alpine are significantly higher. That is why snow is becoming increasingly less common in low-algan, especially in low-lying areas such as Norderney and Bad-Neuenahr in Christmas Eve. While the amount of snowfall for Christmas is relatively reliable in the higher locations, you can see in green landscapes more often in the north and west of Germany, such as the Stern reported .The warming of the climate is identified as the main reason for this decline of the probability of white Christmas. From 1961 to 1990, the probability of snow at the altitudes was still 66 percent, while they dropped to 48 percent from 1991 to 2020. Experts expect that more intensive rainfall in mild temperatures may not necessarily result in Christmas, but more pronounced, snowfall at Christmas, which could make the festival in individual cases a snowy event. The Christmas season does not necessarily fail due to the weather conditions - whether it is snowing or not, but remains an exciting wait for the weather in the next few days.
