- There is a threat of storms in central Germany on Thursday. Severe thunderstorms with extreme heavy rain can occur.
- With the right weather app you can find out about the storm situation.
- Below we will introduce you to the “Windy” app, which shows you all the relevant information.
On August 17th, storms hit from France. Until lunchtime you can expect severe thunderstorms and sometimes heavy rain of up to 100 liters per square meter. In addition, severe squalls can occur. The German Weather Service also expects hail sizes of 2 centimeters in some areas.
The regions south of Schwerin via Brandenburg to Leipzig are particularly affected. This is where the thunderstorms are expected to be most violent. There are also strong thunderstorm warnings for Paderborn, Hanover, Braunschweig, Uelzen, Salzgitter and Magdeburg.
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 weather app “Windy”, which is very popular in our editorial team due to its precise forecasts.
