Overview

• The German Weather Service (DWD) has issued warnings for stormy weather, with wind speeds reaching up to 110 km/h in exposed areas and orkanartige Böen (hurricane-like gusts) in higher elevations like the Brocken and the Erzgebirge.
• Heavy rainfall has been reported, with localized flooding risks and snowfall expected in mountainous regions as colder polar air moves in after the storm subsides.
• Significant travel disruptions include train cancellations due to fallen trees on tracks, and delays reported across public transport networks, particularly in Niedersachsen and NRW.
• Air travel has also been affected, with over 70 flights canceled by KLM in the Netherlands as the storm moved from the North Sea to Germany.
• Conditions are expected to improve by Friday, with colder but calmer weather forecast, including frost and potential snowfall in some regions.
