Bas-Rhin was placed in yellow vigilance “ice snow” by Météo France. An alert which should last until December 24 at 10 a.m.

But are there any chances that we will have a white Christmas in Strasbourg? A weather expert answers us.

No snow at Christmas for 14 years

“It won't snow at all. The last time we had a white Christmas in Strasbourg was in 2010“, says Christophe Mertz, meteorologist at Atmo Risk.

If the date seems distant, the specialist invites you to take a step back.

“White Christmases weren't that common before in the 20th century climate and with climate change, they're becoming more and more rare. That explains why we haven't had one for a while“, he continues.

A white Christmas only in the mountains

Moreover, Christophe Mertz emphasizes that “the mountain is doing well this time. There will be snow for the Christmas and New Year period. But on Tuesday, the falls will stop. The weather will be calmer and drier. »

Between Thursday December 26 and Monday December 30, he plans “a slight warmth in the mountains. The snow will settle and melt rather slowly. »
