Region's Tale of the Storm: Bavaria's Weather Ordeal
Prepare yourself, folks! The southern parts of Germany are bracing for some wild weather, according to the German weather service (DWD). On Wednesday, they predicted some serious thunderstorms, complete with gusty winds and even hail in the area.
Now, you might be wondering how the region handled these storms, right? Well, our news blog has all the juicy details on that very topic. Go check it out!
But let's not forget about an exciting twist to this weather drama. You know that Ryanair flight from Berlin to Milan? The one that was scheduled on Wednesday? Yep, you guessed it – it had to make an emergency landing, courtesy of some freakin' violent turbulence, at Memmingen Airport in Bavaria[4][5]! The turbulence left nine folks, including eight passengers and one crew member, injured. It was quite the scene, with three of them needing hospitalization, and the rest receiving outpatient treatment[4][5]. Not the smoothest flight, that one!
Unfortunately, the stormy weather didn't just wreak havoc in the skies. In Ulm, Baden-Württemberg, it damaged several homes, with strong winds ripping roofs off row houses in the Donaustetten district, making them uninhabitable[4][5]. There were also reports of emergency calls from various areas, primarily due to fallen trees and flooded basements[5].
Just to add some more fuel to the fire, the DWD gave us a heads up that more storms were on their way, with hail, strong winds, and localized heavy rain still coming for that region[2][4]. So, buckle up, Germany! Brace yourselves for more wild weather ahead!
