Winter weather 2024/25: Is there any hope of snow or is it dry?

Winter time in Germany 2024/2025 is so far a real disappointment for all winter lovers. Instead of the longed -for snow cover and frosty temperatures, the weather is high and ensures that there is a lack of snow and rain. According to vorarlberg.orf.at , the conditions this winter are no longer as mild as it has been for 28 years. While there was a lot of snow in the altitudes last year, it looks dark this winter: no west Wind and numerous high -pressure areas have largely blocked the precipitation.

The result is alarming. Weather expert Thomas Rinderer warns that the winter 2024/2025 could be the driest season in 28 years. The great concern is that, should the dry weather stop until the spring months, the risk of forest fire drastically increases. "If March, April and May go on like this, it would cause bigger problems from a meteorological point of view," said Rinder. This applies not only to the lack of water in soils, but also the concern for melting snow and spring water, which will be missing, especially in the alpine regions.

snow and cold are

The views for January and February are not very promising. The weather forecasts show that no significant snow is to be expected. "The leading weather models agree that no winter precipitation can be expected by the end of the month," reports daswetter.com . Temperature values ​​of up to 12 or 13 degrees could occur even in the colder regions, which finally questions the idea of ​​a real winter. So it remains exciting: give the long winter months a surprising turn? Time will show it, but the first signs indicate that winter 2024/2025 will hardly bring what many hoped for.
