In Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland, people have to prepare for rain again – even on New Year’s Eve. On Friday it was mostly cloudy, with occasional showers, the German Weather Service (DWD) said in the morning. Temperatures range from 8 to 12 degrees. There will also be a moderate to fresh wind with strong gusts, which will increase to stormy gusts, especially in the mountains.

On Saturday the sky over both countries was varying to very cloudy, with occasional rain, the DWD wrote. The thermometer shows a maximum of 7 to 12 degrees, at higher altitudes 4 to 7 degrees. The wind is often moderate with sometimes strong – and at high altitudes even stormy – gusts.

On New Year’s Eve it will remain very cloudy and rainy at night. Temperatures range from 7 to 12 degrees. This is due to a partly strong wind with widespread strong to stormy gusts. The DWD also expects squalls during showers and in mountainous areas.
