Severe storms hit Germany: This app shows where there is a risk of thunderstorms and heavy rain

• On Friday there will be severe thunderstorms and heavy rain in many places.
• With the right weather app, you can find out about the severe weather conditions in your region.
• We introduce you to the weather app “Windy”, which shows you all the relevant information.

The heat wave ends on Friday in large parts of Germany with severe storms. Heavy thunderstorms with heavy rain, hail and gusty winds threaten from midday, especially in the eastern half. The German weather service calculates up to 40 liters per square meter within an hour, in some cases even significantly more. Therefore, flooding can also occur.

Schleswig-Holstein, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Hamburg, Lower Saxony, Berlin, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia and Bavaria are primarily affected. If you live in the affected regions, you should better keep an eye on the storm. You are equipped with a sensible weather app that keeps you up to date on the storm and its course.

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.
