Sad prospects: Will Christmas 2024 be green instead of white again?

Sad prospects: Will Christmas 2024 be green instead of white again?

in Berlin and Brandenburg, the weather will remain dark and wet in the coming weeks. On Christmas Eve, December 24th, the region will probably be shaped by a gray sky and temperatures around seven degrees, as the current weather forecasts show. The prospects are anything but festive, because the meteorologists expect little probability for snow. According to graduate meteorologist Dominik Jung, this is only five percent. This could be a bitter disappointment for many Christmas lovers, reports Berlin Live .

In the week before Christmas, the region is confronted with varied weather, which is accompanied by heavy rain showers and mild temperatures. ARD meteorologist Frederik Raff forecasts productive rainfall of a total of 30 to 50 liters per square meter for the days until the holiday. In particular on December 23 and 24, heavy rain is to be expected, which further reduces the chances of a "white Christmas". A harmless mixture of occasional snowflakes and rain could possibly occur, but remains very unlikely, as is rbb24

rare snow Christmas

Snow at Christmas in Berlin is a rare event - since 1950 there has only been a closed blanket of snow on Christmas Eve, which corresponds to a quota of 15 percent. The last "white Christmas" was 13 years ago. These statistical conditions in combination with climate change make the hopes for snow -covered holidays continue to disappear. Nevertheless, there were already some snowfalls this winter, but they are not expected on the festive days.
