Overview

• On June 8, storm gusts reached about 72 km/h, uprooting trees across Dresden and sending a large oak branch crashing onto a Fetscherplatz bistro.
• Feuerwehr Dresden crews secured the Fetscherplatz site and worked into Monday morning removing fallen branches, loose roof tiles and other storm-related debris.
• Two vehicles were struck by falling trees, sustaining damage, though no injuries were reported during the incidents.
• While the bistro’s roof was visibly damaged, firefighters say the building remained structurally sound and a specialist firm has been hired to remove the branch safely.
• Meteorologists forecast the weather to settle by mid-week, with temperatures climbing toward 30 °C by the weekend of June 14.
