- The storm low Sabine has swept across Germany.
- The consequences of hurricane winds: injured people, train and flight cancellations and closed schools, for example throughout Bavaria *.
- The next storm front is imminent.
Update from February 11, 2020, 8.34 a.m .: The cold front of Orkantief Sabine has left Germany, but the stormy weather remains. The German Weather Service (DWD) expects it to remain stormy in the next few days. On Tuesday, showers and stormy gusts and gusts of wind can be expected. In the foothills of the Alps and at high altitudes even gale-like gusts are possible. The North Sea coast was preparing for storm surges.

However, it should be even more violent by the weekend. Then the gusts of wind pick up speed again. The reason for this is the so-called Jetstream , which will recharge over the Atlantic from Friday. "A jet stream or jet stream represents a narrow, band-like strong wind field in the troposphere or stratosphere, which is characterized by high vertical and horizontal wind speed shear and has a maximum or multiple speeds," explains the DWD on its website.
Weather expert Jörg Kachelmann also sees storm potential through the jet stream.
The jet stream is probably exactly over Germany again on Monday. This does not necessarily mean storm / hurricane, but there would be potential. Nothing more can be said at +7 days. /FRhttps://t.co/O68h9l6LQS
