hail and severe weather events like rain: lightning In the coming days, and it thunders violently through Germany. Up to 50 litres per square metre can fall, such as the German weather service (DWD) predicted on Friday. As of Saturday afternoon, the severe weather potential is particularly high. The DWD will also be able to first recognize and then – a few hours earlier – where the Storm locally at worst fail, and appropriate warnings, said DWD spokesman Andreas Friedrich. “Anyone who stays outside, or a grill party plans, you should keep track of the warning situation.” This could change within one to two hours dramatically.
on Friday afternoon there could be thunderstorms in the East, local violent, said the meteorologists in Offenbach. Rainfall of between 25 and 40 litres per square metre in a short time be possible, gusts of wind and hail could come. Similarly, in the evening, in addition to the extreme West and southwest, as well as in the night for the North and North-East.
the Highest severe weather risk
thus, it would appear that Germany, a shallow area of low pressure lying and at the same time hardly any Wind blowing, so that the Thunderstorms could locally persist longer, said Friedrich. Enormous amounts of rain could come together. Also, Gale-force winds and hail could occur. For tornadoes there is no special weather however location. The trough of low pressure, the picture across Germany, could move as well, said DWD meteorologist Jens Bonewitz. The prediction uncertainty was relatively high.
Starting at Saturday noon forecast of the DWD, the highest severe weather risk for a wide strip “of lower Saxony and southern Schleswig-Holstein to the East and South-East, on Brandenburg, Saxony-Anhalt, Saxony, Thuringia, North Hesse and North Bavaria”. Even more than 50 litres per square metre were possible. “In addition, local accumulations of larger Hail, and to expect locally heavy squalls,” said the weather service.
