Overview

• Germany’s maritime agency warns of high water up to about 2 meters above mean high tide along the coast and up to 2.5 meters on the Elbe at Hamburg’s St. Pauli gauge, with peak times around midday at Helgoland, Sylt, Husum and Föhr.
• Ferry operators halted or curtailed services, including FRS Helgoline’s Halunder Jet to Helgoland, Wyker routes to the Halligen, Föhr and Amrum, and Scandlines between Rostock and Gedser; dozens of flights at Amsterdam Schiphol were canceled on Saturday with limited residual disruptions Sunday.
• North Sea islands reported flooding and damage, with a Norderney campsite under water and erosion and overwash on Langeoog and Wangerooge; local authorities closed storm gates and urged people to avoid waterfronts.
• Emergency services handled widespread storm calls across several states; in Dachsberg (Südschwarzwald) a falling tree struck a minibus, leaving the 58‑year‑old driver and his 57‑year‑old passenger seriously injured.
• The DWD expects strong to severe gusts on coasts and peaks, persistent rain in parts of Schleswig‑Holstein, a lowering snow line in the Alps with 5–10 cm at higher elevations, and a gradual weakening of the system into Monday.
