Deep “Roland” comes from France to Germany and causes heavy rain and thunderstorms. Floods are also possible in Hessen.
Offenbach – After Germany had so far been very lucky with the weather * in late summer, we are now approaching autumn *. “Roland” comes from France in Germany and brings uncomfortable “dirty weather” with him. The German Weather Service (DWD) therefore warns of strong thunderstorms *, with hail and heavy showers – especially in the west, northwest and later on the edge of the Alps.
“The flood areas in the Eifel and in the south of North Rhine-Westphalia can also be hit,” warns meteorologist Dominik Jung from the weather portal Wetter.net. “It is particularly violent there, because the sewer system is still very badly damaged and hardly intact.” In the worst case, there will be another flood *, says Jung.
Storm in Hessen: 40 liters of rain per square meter in a short time
Low pressure area * “Roland” brings a lot and a lot of rain * to Hesse. Around Wednesday afternoon (September 15, 2021) and evening, the low will move from the west over Hesse and cause heavy showers and thunderstorms. Up to 40 liters of rain per square meter are possible in a relatively short time. In some places there could even be flooding.
The weather change on Wednesday (September 15, 2021) comes as a surprise: According to Jung, Germany started the day with temperature records in the morning. In North Rhine-Westphalia, for example, 19 degrees were measured in the morning. “It’s an extremely warm September morning,” says Jung, a meteorologist. The nightly lows were also unusually high.
