Overview

• Despite the German Weather Service’s highest-level warnings for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Saxony, Brandenburg and Berlin, the night passed largely without significant incidents or emergency deployments.
• Rainfall totals were moderate, with many areas receiving less precipitation than the 80–140 liters per square meter that had been warned could fall.
• The DWD has downgraded warnings in eastern regions to moderate alert levels, while caution persists for localized flash flooding and landslides.
• Fire brigades, police and other services maintained readiness throughout the night but reported only minor infrastructure checks and isolated flooding responses.
• A lightning bolt struck the Nikolauskapelle tower in Giebelstadt, Bavaria, causing a small blaze that local firefighters extinguished swiftly without injuries.
