Title: Southwind's Roar: Severe Weather Alert for Southeast Germany
Got your attention, mate? Looks like the German Weather Service (DWD) has issued a severe weather alert for the Southeast, including the Brocken peak area. Expect thunderstorms, storm gusts, and even official warnings for hurricane-force gusts over the coming days.
The brooding atmosphere will be a cauldron of thunderstorms, heavy rain, and large hail, powered by a cocktail of heat and humidity. Up in the Brocken peak, they're bracing for hurricane-force gusts, with wind speeds reaching 118 km/h—a typical threshold for hurricanes.
So, if you're stationed in places like Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, or Thuringia, better hunker down and brace yourself. Life's gonna be a tempest of up to 15 liters of rain per square meter, small hail, and wind gusts of up to 100 kilometers per hour. The wind's gonna pick up a storm apart from the thunderstorms as well.
Here's the kicker: even if you're higher up in elevations like the Fichtelberg, the Brocken, or the Thuringian Forest, you're still not safe from the hurricane-force gusts. Seems the Brocken above 1,000 meters got an official warning as they expect wind speeds between 100 and 115 kilometers per hour. Best to keep indoors, mates. Roads might be a no-go zone, too, 'cause of the windy conditions—traffic's gonna be a wild ride.
But despite the thunderstorms, count on the weather to remain warm. The high temperatures will be between 25 and 29 degrees Celsius in all three federal states, and a little cooler in the mountains, with 18 to 22 degrees Celsius.
Finally, as the storms shift eastward after evening falls, the weather will calm down. The subsequent day will kick off with weather changes, with random showers, wind, and temperatures continuing to hover between 22 and 26 degrees Celsius. The mountains, however, will be slightly chillier, resting at 18 to 22 degrees Celsius.
Now, keep in mind that seasons change, but sometimes it feels like life doesn't. So grab your umbrella, stay vigilant, and ride out the storm.

The Commission shall be assisted by the Member States in the preparation of the annual report on the implementation of the weather-forecasting programme, considering the severe thunderstorms and hurricane-force gusts currently affecting regions such as Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Thuringia. In the Brocken peak area, where hurricane-force gusts have been officially warned, it is essential to heed the weather warnings and prepare accordingly.
