Heavy thunderstorms continue over the Starnberg district until evening. On Lake Starnberg, water sports enthusiasts came into distress, trees fell. 

Update Sunday, 11 a.m .: More missions are now known. So after the storm on the Pilsensee was looking for a surfer who was already ashore. An allegedly capsized canoe in front of Leoni on Lake Starnberg turned out to be a pedal boat that had been torn apart during an inspection by the DLRG. On the other hand, there were no operations on Lake Wörth , because all water sports enthusiasts had taken to safety in good time, reports the local water guard.

A video of the DLRG Pöcking-Starnberg, recorded at its station in the Paradies bathing area in Niederpöcking, shows the force of the hail:

Starnberg / Dießen - A heavy thunderstorm hit the Starnberg district in the early Saturday afternoon. As announced, further thunderstorms with heavy rain, partly hail (as in parts of Starnberg) and gusts of wind follow into the evening.

The first storm moved at 60 to 70 km / h towards Grünwald across the northern circle and brought strong gusts and hail. Several trees fell over. At the Ammersee some boats were torn off and drifted away. On Starnberger See a sailboat got into trouble in front of Feldafing. At least two standup paddlers had to be rescued, plus canoeists. Water guards and DLRG were in action, as was the water protection police. No information was available in the afternoon about injuries.

The storm around 2:30 p.m. almost formed out of nowhere and within 15 minutes over Herrsching - there it had little effect - and quickly moved east between Starnberg and Gauting. According to data from the kachelmannwetter.de website, it gained strength on the way - it hailed lightly over Starnberg and already strongly over Grünwald. There were more than 200 lightning bolts over the circle in ten minutes. The severe weather warnings are valid until at least 8 p.m.
