Gigantic thunderstorms threaten: Potsdam in the storm of natural forces!
After a stormy afternoon, there is now all -clear: The German Weather Service (DWD) has lifted the warning of severe thunderstorms in Potsdam. In the midday hours, however, lightning, thunder, heavy rain, hail and violent wind gusts were expected, which mixed up the local weather. The DWD reported that storm gusts could reach speeds of up to 100 km/h, which has already led to questionable incidents in the past few days.
At the end of June there were two violent storms in the new garden, in which two people tragically were seriously injured when a tree crown fell on them. These incidents make it clear that it is best to take care of such weather warnings.
Current weather conditions
The temperatures in Brandenburg today rise to a pleasant 25 degrees. Even at night it doesn't get too cool: the temperatures drop to about eleven degrees. However, the weather conditions remain inconsistent. According to the DWD, further showers and thunderstorms are not excluded, although no rain is to be expected in most places from midnight. Similar weather is expected tomorrow on Wednesday - with temperatures of up to 22 degrees, accompanied by other showers, thunderstorms, hail and gusts of wind.
There are some warning levels for winds: from a wind speed of over 50 km/h, the weather service is already pulling the alarm bells. Individual decisions are from 90 km/h and for summit stores from 100 km/h. When thunderstorms, the warning levels are even more differentiated: While level 1 raises the alarm for lightning strikes and winds, there is a warning (level 2) during strong thunderstorms with heavy rain or hail.

In view of these storm events, the use of the new natural hazard portal of the German Weather Service is an interface for everyone who wants to find out more in good time.
