Germany's national weather service is warning on Friday of further severe storms in several parts of the country. The warnings apply, among others, to Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Brandenburg, Berlin, Thuringia, Saxony-Anhalt, North Rhine-Westphalia, Bavaria and southwestern Germany. Heavy rain, hail and, in places, severe gusts of wind are expected. Die Zeit ↗
The severe weather has already caused serious consequences in Baden-Württemberg. In Karlsruhe, a man died after a tree fell, several people were injured, and firefighters pumped water out of numerous basements. Roads and pavements were blocked in places. Emergency responses were also reported in Saxony-Anhalt, where the storms triggered numerous call-outs for rescue services. Deutschlandfunk ↗
Earlier severe weather also struck the north of the country. In Lower Saxony, large hailstones damaged cars, and entire streets turned into flooded areas in places. Firefighters responded to hundreds of incidents. In Elmshorn, water flooded a street to such an extent that even a police car got stuck in it. Die Zeit ↗
The warnings follow a heatwave, during which temperatures in Germany rose above 30 degrees Celsius in places, with tropical nights expected in isolated areas. The change in air mass is set to bring cooler weather, but is also fueling the formation of storms. Meteorologists warn that heavy downpours could cause localized flooding. Weather is thus expected to remain unstable in the near term, although the heat should recede. Welt ↗
