Overview
- The German Weather Service has issued warnings for heavy to severe gusts along the North Sea from Sunday night into Monday, with strong to stormy winds extending into western and northwestern inland areas.
- Forecasts indicate widespread gusts of 70 to 90 km/h in the north and at the coast, locally near 100 km/h at the shoreline and on higher peaks, and orkanartige Böen around 110 km/h on exposed summits such as the Brocken.
- Coastal rain is a key hazard, with some model runs projecting 70 to 90 liters per square meter along the North Sea by midweek, raising risks of localized flooding and travel disruption.
- Regional contrasts remain pronounced, with the south staying comparatively mild and locally reaching about 27°C near the Alps on Monday, while the north contends with showers, isolated thunderstorms and brisk winds.
- After the windy start to the week, ensemble guidance points to a potential high‑pressure rebound and a short spell of sunnier, warmer conditions later in the week or toward late September, a scenario that forecasters stress remains uncertain.
