DWD warns of hurricane gusts in southern Hesse: These regions are affected

Deep “Zeynep” reaches Hessen and causes hurricane-like gusts from Friday afternoon. A weather warning also applies to many districts and cities in southern Hesse.

Frankfurt/Offenbach – After the violent gusts with which “Ylenia” has been sweeping Hesse since Wednesday (February 16, 2022), the German Weather Service (DWD) in Offenbach is now warning of a stormy start to the weekend. Responsible for this is from Friday (02/18/2022) storm “Zeynep”. According to the meteorologists, however, the gusts will be somewhat weaker than with “Ylenia”.

The weather service issued a warning of hurricane-force gusts for Friday afternoon on Friday night. There is particular danger from uprooted trees, falling branches and loose roof tiles. Objects on balconies and terraces should be secured for security reasons, it said. According to the police, there was initially no major storm damage in the night from Thursday to Friday.

Auch in Südhessen warnt der Deutsche Wetterdienst für orkanartigen Böen zwischen 16 und 20 Uhr am Freitag.
