The schools in the administrative district of Cologne will be closed early on Friday due to the expected storm.

Classes end at 11:30 a.m., a spokesman for the district government said on Friday.

This ensures that the students get home safely.

The early school closure therefore affects both primary and secondary schools.

Cologne – In addition to the city of Cologne, the affected regions also include the regions around Heinsberg, Aachen, Bonn and Siegburg.
