FRANKFURT (Reuters) - European weather in the coming winter now looks more likely to be mild than in previous studies, German meteorologist Georg Mueller said in a monthly report on Thursday.
"The latest runs are generally in favor of a milder than normal winter, especially over northern Europe," wrote Mueller, who regularly monitors energy weather on behalf of Point Carbon, a Thomson Reuters company.
"Especially January and February could get quite wet, windy and mild over Scandinavia and parts of northern Central Europe," he added, concluding that no major cold episodes were likely.
