Storm depression Eugen rolls over Germany: violent hurricane gusts - "Avoid staying outdoors if possible"
First report from May 3, 2021
Munich - The Germans were recently spoiled with spring temperatures.
On promenades and parks you saw people in shorts and T-shirts before it got milder again on the weekend.
For Mother's Day on May 9th, it should be warmer again.
Before that, however, Storm Eugen is up to mischief.
It's getting uncomfortable.
Storm depression Eugen: "The wind is strong to stormy on Tuesday"
From Tuesday, the storm will sweep across the Federal Republic and ensure gray April weather.
It also brings thunderstorms and heavy continuous rain - especially in the south of the country - with it.
That drives the temperatures down.
At the North Sea, the maximum temperature on Wednesday is nine degrees.
It looks more pleasant in the east of Bavaria.
In Passau, for example, up to 19 degrees are possible on Wednesday.
In the rest of the country the wind blows at a mixed seven to 13 degrees.
The strongest gusts are to be expected at the beginning of the week: "The wind is strong to stormy on Tuesday," RTL meteorologist Björn Alexander told
wetter.de
.
It blows hardest in the mountains, but "even in the flatlands - for the beginning of May - there is quite a lot of tiling with peak gusts between 70 and 90 kilometers per hour." Individual gusts of up to 100 kilometers per hour cannot be ruled out.
Weather in Germany: Warning of hurricane-like gusts - "avoid staying outdoors"
By early Tuesday morning, the first effects of Eugen can already be felt. For the south-west, the German Weather Service officially warns of gale-force gusts from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., and gusts of wind from 0 a.m. to 6 a.m. Above 1000 meters there are gale-force gusts with speeds between 100 and 115 kilometers per hour from the southwest. In exposed locations, hurricane gusts of up to 130 kilometers per hour must be expected. In addition, there is heavy continuous rain on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Breisgau region around Freiburg near the French border is hardest hit.
According to the German Weather Service, the dangers of the storm should not be underestimated.
Specifically, uprooted trees and damaged roofs are mentioned.
The DWD advises: “Close all windows and doors.
Secure items outdoors.
In particular, keep a distance from buildings, trees, scaffolding and high-voltage lines.
If possible, avoid staying outside."
Weather in Germany: The sun is taking back the country - 22 to 28 degrees on Mother's Day
It remains positive that improvement is already in sight: the weather will turn around on Saturday.
Up to ten hours of sunshine a day ensure regional maximum temperatures such as 22 degrees on the Lower Rhine.
Occasionally, however, a cool wind can still slow down the temperatures, for example on the coast.
On Mother's Day, however, the sun peeks out across the board and ensures daily values of 22 to 28 degrees.
