On this coming Friday, Thuringia braces for a stormy day. Rain and occasional snow showers are anticipated, accompanied by strong westerly winds, reaching speeds of 85 km/h. The German Weather Service (DWD) forecasts temperatures ranging from 0 to 4 degrees Celsius, with mountainous regions experiencing slightly colder weather.
As the night falls on Saturday, rain spreads eastward, accompanied by snowfall at higher altitudes and a steady wind that dampens temperatures to near zero degrees in the mountains. Rain and snow above 800 meters make Saturday's morning in the mountains a chilly affair, while the rest of the day sees mercury climbing back up to 5 to 7 degrees.
Come Sunday, Christmas Eve, temperatures take a significant leap, reaching 10 to 12 degrees, while mountainous areas remain cool with 5 to 9 degrees. Rain persists, but heavy squalls, especially in the mountains, make for an exciting finish to the weekend.
This stormy forecast offered by DWD comes as Thuringia prepares for a stretch of gloomy weather, with the possibility of scattered squalls in Erfurt.
