Baden-Württemberg will experience a rollercoaster of weather conditions leading up to Christmas, which may affect holiday plans and travel.
The simultaneous weather disturbances in both Baden-Württemberg and Italy highlight a broader pattern of severe winter weather affecting Central Europe during this time of year.
Residents in Baden-Württemberg should prepare for rapidly changing weather conditions, including potential travel disruptions due to snow and strong winds.
The bad weather in Italy is likely to lead to hazardous conditions along coastal areas, particularly in Sardinia and the Tyrrhenian Sea, with potential impacts on maritime activities.
As Christmas approaches, Baden-Württemberg is bracing for a series of severe weather conditions, including fluctuating temperatures, storms, and snowfall. Meteorologist Dominik Jung from wetter.net warns that the weather will be particularly turbulent, with significant temperature swings and the possibility of lightning snow leading up to Christmas.
Starting December 19, temperatures in Baden-Württemberg are expected to rise to 15 degrees Celsius before plummeting to between 4 and 5 degrees the following day. The weekend will see mixed conditions, with temperatures fluctuating between 6 and 11 degrees, and strong winds potentially reaching up to 100 kilometers per hour.
On Christmas Day, a 'Christmas thaw' is anticipated, with temperatures rising to between 6 and 7 degrees, which may quickly melt any snow that has accumulated. This trend of mild weather is expected to continue into December 26, with temperatures ranging from 7 to 10 degrees and thick fog.
In parallel, Italy is also preparing for a phase of bad weather characterized by strong winds and snow. Meteorologist Mattia Gussoni reports that starting December 19, widespread rain will affect the northern regions, with strong winds causing rough seas in Sardinia and storm surges along the Tyrrhenian coast.
The weather in Italy will worsen on December 20, with significant snowfall expected in the Apennines due to a drop in temperatures and strong winds. This pattern of bad weather is expected to ease temporarily over the weekend before another disturbance from the North Pole arrives.
