Weather in Germany: The sun shines in many places at the weekend

2021-10-21T16:47:10.857Z


Sun and clouds instead of rain and storm: the weekend brings calmer weather in parts of Germany. But it doesn't get nice everywhere.


After the stormy Thursday, calmer autumn weather is in sight.

On Friday there are still stormy gusts sweeping through the north, showers and thunderstorms are possible, while the weather otherwise calms down, as the German Weather Service (DWD) predicted.

In the south, in a wide strip from the Black Forest to Eastern Bavaria, it is longer sunny, but with highs between 8 and 13 degrees it is cooler than on the previous days.

On the coasts and in some high altitudes, heavy gusts of wind have to be expected.

Saturday starts with lots of clouds, but the sun flashes out more and more.

Initially nothing changes in the temperatures.

On Sunday it is a little cooler with highs between 12 and 17 degrees.

As soon as the fog clears, it is sunny and dry.

On Thursday, according to the DWD, numerous places reported gale-force gusts of up to 117 kilometers per hour in the morning and in the morning, including Trier, Frankfurt, Würzburg, Wuppertal and Dresden.

The deep "Hendrik" was responsible.

The front runner in the mountains was the Feldberg in the Black Forest with 166 kilometers per hour until noon.

However, the anemometer on the Brocken had failed for a few hours;

there it may have blown even stronger.

Long-distance traffic is slowly starting up again

Trees fell in many places, and rail traffic was severely impaired in the meantime.

Long-distance traffic in North Rhine-Westphalia was idle for hours.

As the Deutsche Bahn announced at noon, train traffic will resume on the first routes.

However, there are still failures and delays in large parts of Germany.

How long the disabilities will last cannot be foreseen yet.

The clean-up work on the Düsseldorf and Cologne route continued, and the ICE route to Wuppertal was not yet passable, said a spokesman.

The storm had blown branches and trees onto rails or overhead lines since the night.

The storm also caused property damage and traffic obstructions in the neighboring Czech Republic.

The fire brigades went out on hundreds of missions to clear fallen trees from streets and cars.

At least two car occupants were trapped and seriously injured.

Roofs were torn from houses.

More than 60,000 households were temporarily without electricity due to damaged overhead lines.
