Squalls from the coming night – traffic obstructions possible

A lot of wind expected. In the coming night, a low whistled over Germany from the west. Falling trees must be expected.

Offenbach – Heavy squalls, plus heavy showers and thunderstorms – this Thursday, according to the forecast of the German Weather Service (DWD), it will be really uncomfortable.

From the second half of the night from Wednesday to Thursday, the storm field of a low will spread to Germany from the west, said the DWD in Offenbach. The DWD meteorologist Tobias Reinartz said on Wednesday that traffic obstructions due to fallen trees must be expected.

The meteorologists predict storm gusts and gusts of between 70 and 90 kilometers per hour or more – for high mountain ranges even heavy gusts to gale force gusts of up to 110 kilometers per hour. Hurricane gusts of up to 120 kilometers per hour are possible on exposed peaks such as the Brocken, the Feldberg in the Black Forest or the Fichtelberg. Accordingly, it blows a little weaker in the southeast at 55 to 75 kilometers per hour. There can also be showers and thunderstorms.

In the course of Thursday afternoon, according to the DWD, the wind eases again from the west. Only in the north will it be stormy until Friday. In addition, it rains on Friday in the northern half and on the edge of the Alps – otherwise the sun often comes out.

But it’s getting cooler. On Thursday the temperatures are between 13 and 18 degrees, on Friday mostly only between 8 and 13 degrees. Saturday looks similar. A mix of sun, clouds and fog can be expected, explained the DWD. Sunday brings sunshine and 12 to 17 degrees, at the latest from Tuesday the weather will be more unstable again. dpa
