Apart from heavy rain, hail with diameters of up to 3 cm and violent gusts of 105 km/h are also expected, which significantly increases the risk of branches and trees breaking. “There’s something going on,” a meteorologist summed it up aptly.

After the storm “Ziros”, which resulted in one death and numerous injuries on Monday, no risks are being taken. The Prussian Palaces and Gardens Foundation warns against entering parks and green spaces - the closure of the famous Sanssouci and Babelsberg parks is imminent.
