Storm Eases in Germany After North Sea Surge as Rain and Alpine Snow Persist

Forecasters expect high pressure from the Atlantic to return by midweek with drier, milder days.

Overview

  • DWD reports the storm field weakening on Monday, though many areas stay cloudy with showers and brisk gusts, especially along the coasts and in exposed high terrain.
  • BSH measured coastal water levels about 1.5 to 2.0 meters above mean high water on Sunday, flooding parts of Hamburg’s fish market and disrupting multiple ferry routes.
  • At least three people were injured over the weekend, and fallen trees and debris led to transport delays and road closures in several regions.
  • Heavy precipitation persists in the south, with Alpine snowfall above roughly 1,500 meters bringing 5–10 cm of new snow and locally 10–30 cm on higher peaks.
  • Forecasts point to a gradual improvement from Wednesday, with more sunshine and highs trending toward 15–20 °C in western and southern Germany by late week.
