Violent storms in Baden-Württemberg: Hail and heavy rain threaten!

Baden-Württemberg, Deutschland - On Wednesday afternoon, intensive weather conditions are expected in Baden-Württemberg. Violent heavy rain and gusts of gusts threaten, and local weather experts warn of local floods. The storm leads to severe thunderstorms and rainfall of up to 40 liters per square meter, especially in the southeast of the state. According to SWR , hailk grains could reach a size of up to eight centimeters. These conditions are due to a cold front that moves from northwest to southeast.

The German Weather Service (DWD) urgently warns of strong to heavy storms. The risk of storm has a particularly high priority in the Ostalb, Upper Swabia, on Lake Constance and in the Allgäu in Württemberg. Storm gusts with speeds between 90 and 130 km/h are possible, which can lead to fallen trees and other damage. Michael Kost, weather expert at SWR, recommends leaving the house only in really necessary cases. In addition, there is a risk for very large hail in the far southeast, near Bavaria, in particular, in terms of cars, roofs and agriculture.

expected weather conditions in the region

The storm that the Lake Constance region reaches from Switzerland in the afternoon could be tightened by temperatures between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius in the affected areas. The weather situation is also influenced by storm "Tim", which continues to destabilize the weather conditions in Germany in the middle of the week. Strong thunderstorms with the risk of tornados can be expected in particular in Bavaria, Thuringia and Saxony, where rainy amounts of up to 50 liters per square meter can fall, such as N-tv reported.

The forecasts indicate that the thunderstorm conditions will lose weight on Thursday and Friday, but can still occur locally extensive thunderstorms. While the Pentecost weekend continues to have a high risk of intensive thunderstorms in its early days, a weather calming with friendlier conditions and temperatures between 16 and 23 degrees is expected on Whit Monday.

long -term weather changes due to climate change

The DWD has also pointed out the long -term dangers of extreme weather events. Global warming has already led to a significant increase in such events in Germany, including heat waves and a decrease in strict frost. This situation is rated as clear and well documented by the scientists. However, there are uncertainties regarding the exact development of precipitation and winds. The likelihood of new temperature records is ironic, while the frequency of cooler weather phases decreases, as is stated in the current report of the DWD ( DWD ).
