As winter sets in, Ayurveda offers timeless guidance to help people stay healthy and balanced during the cold months. This holistic approach emphasizes keeping the body warm with layered clothing, warm drinks like ginger tea, and seasonal, cooked foods rich in immune-supporting spices such as turmeric and black pepper.  Daily self-massage (Abhyanga) with warm oil can help maintain skin moisture and improve circulation, while gentle exercise like yoga or brisk walks keeps the body active. Staying hydrated with warm water and prioritizing rest are also key to maintaining overall vitality and well-being in winter.  Read more → ayurvedaluxembourg.com/post/ayurveda-and-winter-care-embrace-the-season-with-balance-and-warmth Join Luxembourg Expats, the #1 homegrown community for expats in Luxembourg.

Luxembourg generally enjoys good air quality, with its national average Air Quality Index (AQI) showing fairly low pollution compared to many countries around the world. According to IQAir, the country’s yearly average AQI⁺ is around 42, and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) — which can affect breathing and health — measures about 7.5 µg/m³, slightly above the World Health Organization’s (WHO) recommended limit.  Real-time measurements show that air quality usually stays in the “good to moderate” range, although levels can vary day-to-day with weather conditions and seasonal changes.  PM2.5 remains the main pollutant tracked in Luxembourg, and on many days it stays just above WHO annual guidelines, indicating overall clean air but with room for improvement.  Other tracking and environmental studies suggest that nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) levels from traffic and city activity are staying within safe limits and many locations are already meeting future European air standards set for 2030, showing steady progress in managing pollution.  If you’re curious about the latest hourly air quality maps or want to keep an eye on pollution while planning outdoor activities, official IQAir tools provide real-time updates.

Europe’s winter weather has wreaked havoc on air travel, with heavy snow and freezing conditions causing major disruptions at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport and beyond. Severe snowfall and strong winds led to widespread cancellations and delays, particularly affecting flights to and from the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, the UK, Luxembourg and Spain. Hundreds of flights were called off as airlines like KLM, Lufthansa and Iberia struggled to operate normally in the harsh conditions.  The storm’s impact at Schiphol was particularly intense. Airport operations were slowed by snow-covered runways and low visibility, forcing airlines to cancel a significant number of departures and arrivals. According to airport reports and news coverage, dozens of flights were scrapped and many more delayed as crews worked to de-ice aircraft and restore safe operations.  Travelers faced long waits in terminals and uncertainty as schedules shifted. In some cases, passengers were left scrambling to find alternate connections or accommodations amid the chaos. Airlines have urged passengers to check their flight status and plan for ongoing weather-related disruptions.  The severe winter weather comes amid a broader pattern of travel woes across Europe, where cold conditions have already forced other flights to be delayed or canceled at major hubs. Aviation authorities continue to monitor the situation as forecasts predict further snow and low temperatures in the region.  Read more: https://travelandtourworld.com/news/article/netherlands-germany-switzerland-uk-luxembourg-and-spain-hit-by-snowstorm-with-344-cancellations-and-55-delays-at-amsterdam-schiphol-disrupting-klm-lufthansa-iberia-and-more/ Join Luxembourg Expats, the #1 homegrown community for expats in Luxembourg.

Luxembourg is waking up to a deep winter chill today as temperatures hover well below freezing across the Grand Duchy. According to the latest forecast, the current temperature in Luxembourg City is around -5 °C with a RealFeel® near -10 °C, and winds from the southwest gusting at about 13 km/h. The day is expected to remain mostly cloudy with intermittent snow and flurries this afternoon, though accumulations are likely to be light. Tonight will stay cold with lows near -5 °C under partly to mostly cloudy skies. A yellow weather warning for wintry conditions is in place, reflecting the potential for hazardous weather through the early morning hours. Overnight lows in some areas could dip as low as -8 °C to -10 °C, with feels-like temperatures plunging even further, raising the risk of frostbite on exposed skin and icy patches on roads and pavements.
