Germany Braces for Stormy Week as DWD Issues Targeted Wind Warnings

Official alerts now focus on specific regions as forecasts shift away from the most extreme coastal wind scenarios.

Overview

  • DWD warnings on Tuesday cover parts of northwest Bavaria, where gusts up to 60 km/h are expected and up to 70 km/h are possible in exposed areas.
  • In Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein, forecasters expect strong, showery conditions through the week, with coastal sturmböen from Thursday and a risk of orkanartige Böen by Friday.
  • Earlier model runs projected coastal gusts near 190 km/h later in the week, but updated guidance now points to a southward storm track with lower peaks, though gusts around 100 km/h remain possible.
  • Heavy rainfall is modeled for western regions, with the Black Forest potentially reaching about 200 liters per square meter and the Saarland and Eifel up to 100 liters.
  • Authorities urge residents to secure loose objects and exercise caution in parks and forests due to the risk of flying debris and falling branches or trees.
