“Model forecasts don’t bode well”: Graduate meteorologist warns of floods
“The latest model forecasts do not bode well. In addition to storms, there will also be hurricane gusts of up to 150 km/h. Hurricane gusts are possible even at low altitudes. We expect up to 120 liters of rain. “That will bring flooding,” warns the well-known German meteorologist. But not only Germany, but also large parts of Western Europe are said to be affected by the hurricane, he explains.

After a few quiet days on the long weekend of German unity, the weather in Germany is becoming much more chaotic again. The wind will pick up again and again over the next few days and rain will fall at times. But on Thursday (October 10th), according to Jung, things will be particularly dangerous. According to current weather data, the former hurricane will hit the southwest and later also the west and north of Germany. Cities like Stuttgart, Frankfurt am Main, Cologne and Düsseldorf are currently in the spotlight. “In addition to heavy rain and storms, we also have to expect thunderstorms and tornadoes,” said expert Jung in his new weather video.

Weather in Germany: Expert predicts floods in the west
According to Jung, there is a risk of heavy rain in Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland, parts of Hesse, North Rhine-Westphalia, Lower Saxony and Baden-Württemberg. 50 to 100 liters of precipitation are possible there within 24 hours. “This can lead to flooding of streets and basements,” said the qualified meteorologist. Particularly explosive: The trees are currently often still wearing their entire foliage. Storm and hurricane gusts could therefore cause serious damage. Branches could break and rows of trees could fall over. This could lead to blockages in rail and road connections.
