Deep poly meets Germany: This app shows where storms, heavy rain and thunderstorms are imminent

• Severe weather threatens in north-west Germany on Wednesday. Thunderstorms, storms and heavy rain can occur.
• With the right weather app you can find out about the storm situation.
• Below we present the “Windy” app, which shows you all the relevant information.

Severe weather is expected in north-west Germany on July 5th. Storm low poly brings some heavy thunderstorms, heavy rain and storms. In Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg and Bremen it is particularly violent. Here, the German Weather Service warns of hurricane gusts of up to 130 kilometers per hour. Among other things, serious damage to buildings is possible, and roof tiles, branches and objects can also fall.

Severe gusts of wind are being warned from Schwerin down to Düsseldorf, which will sweep across the country at up to 110 kilometers per hour. Here, too, you have to reckon with falling objects and uprooted trees. The rest of the country is largely spared, but thunderstorms, heavy rain and squalls can also occur here.

You should therefore keep an eye on the weather situation today in order to avoid dangers and prepare yourself. At this point we would like to recommend the “Windy” weather app, which is very popular with our editorial staff thanks to its precise forecasts.
