Sat's a wet one in Thuringia! The German Weather Service (DWD) predicts a rainy day, with snow turning into the wet stuff above 800 meters in the morning. As the day progresses, squalls will hit the upper mountains, while temperatures range between 5-8 degrees Celsius, with it being slightly chillier in the mountains.
Nighttime brings more rain and a chilly 5-2 degrees Celsius, dropping to zero in the ridges as temperatures rise towards dawn, reaching a high of 9 degrees Celsius. The forecast for Christmas Eve, however, is markedly milder, with overcast skies, rain, and temperatures of 10-12 degrees Celsius, occasionally becoming stormy.
Rain continues into Monday, interspersed with dry periods and maintaining a high of 10-12 degrees Celsius. Thuringia's weather frequently deviates from this standard, but for Christmas Eve, expect a mix of mild temperatures and wet weather.
Erfurt's charming old town shines even in the rain, contrasting with the lush, mountainous Thuringia that usually boasts a different climate. Despite the forecast, the city's ten to twelve-degree temperatures will still provide a festive atmosphere as the year comes to a close.
Sadly, specific weather forecasts for Christmas Eve in Thuringia are hard to come by. Given that the holiday falls around the cold and potentially snowy period, we can expect chilly temperatures, but a precise forecast would require checking with a professional weather service like DWD or a reliable local source.
