Severe thunderstorms and heavy rainfall forewarned by meteorological experts - Heavy rain and intense thunderstorms foretold by meteorological authorities
The German Weather Service (DWD) has issued a severe weather warning for the region of Baden-Württemberg, advising residents and visitors to brace for thunderstorms and heavy rainfall from Friday night into Saturday morning.
According to the DWD's forecast, thunderstorms are expected to develop on Friday night, with the potential for severe storm cells. The heavy rainfall is predicted to be concentrated through the overnight period into early Saturday morning, increasing the risk of flash floods and surface water accumulation.
The intensity of the rainfall could vary, but it is sufficient to potentially impact traffic and outdoor activities, as well as strain drainage systems in urban areas. While the current DWD warning details are not available, past events in the region have shown that such weather conditions can lead to localized flooding, traffic delays, and hazardous driving conditions, among other impacts.
Residents and visitors in Baden-Württemberg should be prepared for these conditions, which align with typical summer thunderstorm behavior in the region. The severe weather warning is valid until Saturday morning.
To mitigate risks from flooding and storm impacts, it is advisable to:
- Stay informed and heed any official warnings issued by the DWD during this period.
- Avoid low-lying areas and roads prone to flooding.
- Be cautious when driving, as conditions may become hazardous.
- Postpone or cancel outdoor activities if necessary.
- Be aware of the increased vulnerability to flash floods in urban and forested regions.
In summary, Baden-Württemberg is expected to experience intense thunderstorms and heavy rain from Friday night through Saturday morning. Preparation and adherence to official warnings are crucial to minimizing potential risks from flooding and storm impacts. Stay safe!
The Commission is proposing to extend the period of validity of the agreement to cover the risk of flooding and storm impacts in Baden-Württemberg, due to the expected heavy rainfall from weather conditions, including thunderstorms and severe weather cells, from Friday night into Saturday morning. Weather-forecasting data indicates a high likelihood of localized flooding, traffic delays, and hazardous driving conditions, calling for preparedness, caution, and adherence to official warnings.
