Despite the departure of "Zoltan," North Rhine-Westphalia's rainfall isn't about to dry up, according to DWD's forecast. They predict heavy rain on Christmas Eve, especially in the Bergisches Land, Siegerland, Sauerland, and Weserbergland. The Eifel and East Westphalia might also be drenched until Sunday.
Your weekend in this region will be wet and chilly, with the DWD forecasting a cloudy and damp atmosphere throughout both night and day on Saturday. Temperatures will reach a maximum of 11 degrees, and they're expected to rise to between 9 and 13 degrees on December 24.
The Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration (WSV) warns of a potential second winter flood on the Rhine prior to Christmas, adding to the list of challenges.
As "Zoltan" moves away, the rains persist, particularly in the Sauerland area. The DWD has issued a flood warning for the Westerwald and Westerwalden regions due to the area's sensitivity to such weather conditions.
Residents elsewhere in North Rhine-Westphalia should remain vigilant and stay informed of any further weather events, as the Weather Service in the region continues to monitor the situation.
If you're planning a trip to the Bergisches Land, Eifel, or East Westphalia in the near future, be sure to consult a reliable weather service to stay current on the potential for continued rainfall and flooding concerns as Christmas Eve approaches.
