KATWARN triggers!
Official warning for Germany - meteorologist speaks of a "double storm"
Our first report from March 10th
: Offenbach - "Katwarn" issued an official severe weather warning for Germany from March 11th to 12th of extreme weather.
It is valid from Thursday morning 4 a.m. to Friday morning 6 a.m.
The reason is the forecast of the
German Weather Service (DWD)
for the storm "Klaus", which is coming up from Thursday.
Hurricane-like gusts with wind speeds between 100 and 115 kilometers per hour are to be expected above 1000 meters.
Trees can be uprooted and roofs damaged, reports the warning app.
Watch out for falling branches, roof tiles or objects and keep a distance from buildings, trees, scaffolding and high-voltage lines.
"Close all windows and doors!
Secure items outdoors!
In particular, keep a distance from buildings, trees, scaffolding and high-voltage lines.
Avoid staying outdoors as much as possible! ”They say.
Storm warning due to hurricane low "Klaus": "Avoid parks"
The storm will be strongest around lunchtime and hit the regions between the Eifel-Harz and the North Sea the hardest, said RTL meteorologist Christian Häckl to
wetter.de
.
"On the highest peaks of the low mountain ranges such as Brocken or Feldberg in the Black Forest, hurricane gusts of up to 140 km / h can be expected - which is not unusual there."
Häckl warned about lunchtime: “You should also avoid parks between around 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Thursday, because even here there is a risk that larger branches could break off.
In addition, it could get tricky for larger, wind-prone scaffolding. "
Storm warning for Germany: DWD expects changeable weather
With the arrival of the low "Klaus", according to the
DWD,
a changeable and very windy section of the weather
begins in this country
.
The intermediate high "Luitgard" on Wednesday only stands for the "calm before the storm".
In Eastern Pomerania, temperatures of five degrees and on the Upper Rhine up to 13 degrees are reached.
Also in the southwest and east of the Elbe it is sunny again for longer.

But as early as Wednesday afternoon, the weather change in the west and northwest will probably be announced with a refreshing south wind.
The first stormy gusts are expected on the North Sea.
Accompanied by rain, changeable showers and individual sleet thunderstorms.
A large-scale storm is not to be expected on Thursday, said a
DWD
spokesman.
However, walks in the forest should be avoided.
Weather change in Germany: "It's difficult up from the Atlantic"
After “Klaus”, the graduate meteorologist Dominik Jung warned of another storm low this Saturday - this time the center and south of Germany are said to be hardest hit.
Here, too, its gusts of up to 100 kilometers per hour are possible.
Such a storm could always be life-threatening, which is why Jung also urges precautionary measures, as
recommended
by Katwarn and the
DWD
.
"The high from the Atlantic is having a hard time and at first cannot fully assert itself here" wrote Jung from the weather service
Q.met
in his newsletter, which was headed with "Storm double
blow
".
Therefore it will stay quite cool next week with occasional rain or sleet.
