Sturm warning in Lower Saxony: gusts up to 80 km/h on Tuesday!

On Tuesday, May 26, 2025, the German Weather Service warned of gusts of wind that are expected in the North Sea regions of Schleswig-Holstein and parts of Lower Saxony. These gusts of wind reach speeds of 65 km/h to 80 km/h and will blow from 6 a.m. to around 3 p.m. Bremerhaven is particularly affected, while Bremen itself is not in the warning zone. Residents in the affected regions are advised to avoid stays outdoors and secure loose objects in order to minimize possible dangers. In addition, traffic disruptions can be expected, especially for trips in exposed locations where special caution is required.

in Bremen is expected in the inland with gusts of up to 60 km/h. These stormy conditions are accompanied by moderate temperatures, which reach the highest levels of 17 degrees and low values ​​of 12 degrees on Tuesday. Wednesday remains similar, with temperatures around 18 degrees during the day and 12 degrees at night as well as occasionally possible rain showers and thunderstorms.

weather development in the coming week

From Thursday, the weather service expects a weather improvement with friendlier conditions. The temperatures rise to about 18 degrees in occasional sunshine. This continues on Friday, where 17 degrees are also forecast during the day and 12 degrees at night, but strong winds are still possible. The weekend also brings friendly weather with it: on Saturday the maximum values ​​of 21 degrees and on Sunday are expected of 22 degrees, whereby both days can also bring individual showers. The next week is more stable with temperatures between 17 and 20 degrees and sporadic rain showers.

In the context of the current weather conditions, a study by researchers from the World Weather Attribution initiative draws attention to a worrying development. According to the study, which is dealt with in a report by Tagesschau , it is expected that extreme weather events such as the storm low "Boris" could occur twice as often in the future. Climate change has heated the earth by 1.3 degrees Celsius since the pre -industrial era, which also increases the likelihood of strong rainfall and storms.

The year 2024 has already been described as the warmest summer since the beginning of the records, and the storm low "Boris" led to partly catastrophic rain in Central Europe. These rainfall caused large devastation and led to floods in several countries, with at least 24 people died and thousands had to leave their houses. Despite the heavy rains, higher security standards and better emergency management systems were able to significantly reduce the number of fatalities compared to previous events such as the 2002 floods.

The scientists call for fighting climate change to actively minimize future extreme weather events and to alleviate the effects on the population. T-Online emphasizes that the upcoming weather conditions in Bremen and the surrounding area are closely related to the global climate changes, which are a constant challenge represent the future.
