Today's weather is quite typical for December, with temperatures ranging from a minimum of around 2°C to a maximum of about 5°C, and a chance of light rain[1]. But don't worry, the air quality is excellent, with an AQI level of 14, making it a great day to explore outdoors[4].
Now, let's dive into some of the exciting events happening around the city. If you're a culture enthusiast, you might want to check out the ongoing debates and protests at the House of Representatives, where thousands are demonstrating against the Senate’s austerity plans, particularly those affecting the social and cultural sectors[2].
For music lovers, Berlin's nightlife is always buzzing. Head over to one of the city's famous techno clubs, but remember, authenticity is key – be yourself, and you'll likely get a warm welcome[3].

In local news, the city is seeing a slow uptake of the new online “Anmeldung” address registration service, with only about 7% of registrations done online since its launch in October[2]. Also, keep an eye out for updates on the BVG app, which has been causing some frustration with its push notifications and wait times[5].
