All of Germany will feel the heavy storm Hendrik.
Obstructions in traffic and storm surges are likely.
Munich - Meteorologist Dominik Jung from the weather
portal wetter.net described
the current October week (18 to 22 October)
as the “autumn roller coaster
week”.
High temperatures of up to 25 degrees, the first wet snowflakes, a drop in temperature - and now an impending storm surge.
The heavy storm Hendrik will probably hit Germany harder than expected.
Storm depression Hendrik: hurricane gusts in Germany
Thursday (October 21, 2021) will quickly become very uncomfortable due to the storm Hendrik.
"Very strong winds will already occur in rush hour traffic," said meteorologist Jan Schenk from
The
Weather Channel Germany
about the weather in western Germany.
The storm will have reached the entire south by 9 a.m. and the east by 12 p.m.
"The strongest gusts of wind are predicted here, maybe also in the south, that is not yet entirely certain," said Schenk.
Hurricane gusts of up to 120 km / h can occur in the lowlands.
At an altitude of 600 meters, the wind force is up to 130 km / h.
The hurricane gusts occur together with rain, so showers and thunderstorms are also added.

While the north from Flensburg to Hanover is relatively spared with gusts of up to 80 km / h, Thuringia, Saxony-Anhalt, Saxony, Brandenburg and Berlin are at great risk from the storm.
The storm will not wane until Thursday evening.
Road closures due to fallen trees must be expected, and there may also be restrictions in rail traffic.
Entering forests should also be avoided due to the weather.
Storm surge in the north: "Please be careful"
On the North Sea coast there is even a risk of storm surge on Thursday.
Although there are less high wind speeds in the north than in the rest of Germany, the wind direction will lead to one or more storm surges on Thursday and Friday, but a severe storm surge is not to be feared.
Meteorologist Schenk urges careful observation of the weather: “The forecasts can still change.
A few hours in advance it is often not entirely clear where the storm will occur.
So be careful. "
