Violent storms in Baden-Württemberg: Hail and wind pants cause chaos!

On June 4, 2025, violent storms with heavy rain, wind gusts and hail were registered in the southeast of Baden-Württemberg. The region around Ulm was particularly affected, where a storm front moved over the city and continued to move towards Bavaria. According to suedkurier.de reported that several houses, especially in the Donaustetten district, were damaged. Row houses were covered so that some buildings became uninhabitable. Fortunately, there were no injuries, as fire chief Adrian Röhrle confirmed.

In the case of the storms, a suspicion of "small wind pants" was found, which dragged through two to three streets and caused considerable damage within a radius of one kilometer. Residents also reported a total damage to a vehicle. The Situation was carefully monitored by the German Weather Service (DWD), which has now started the investigation of the tornadover suspicion. The results have been announced for the coming Thursday.

weather warnings and dangers

The DWD had previously published weather -related warnings, which warned of severe thunderstorms as well as hurricane -like gusts, hail and heavy rain in the government districts of Stuttgart, Freiburg and Tübingen. This warning was canceled late in the evening of June 4, 2025. According to the predictions of the DWD, there is a risk of life risk from falling trees, falling branches, high -voltage lines and damaged scaffolding.

The weather conditions are influenced by warm and unstable air that flows from the Biskaya. In the first half of June 4, the thunderstorm is to subside, but sometimes heavy thunderstorms from Baden-Württemberg to Lower Bavaria are expected. Heavy rain of up to 20 l/sqm and hail with grain sizes around 5 cm and gusts of wind are forecast up to 100 km/h. For the area from Ostalb to Allgäu, the DWD even warned of extreme conditions, including hail with grain sizes by eight centimeters and gusts of up to 120 km/h.

effects and damage

The storms have already led to specific damage. In Bad Liebenzell in the Calw district, a house burned after a lightning strike. As a result, a fireman was injured while trying to extinguish the fire. The estimated total damage caused by the fire amounts to around 150,000 euros. Residents noticed the smoke detectors and the smell of fire in good time, which made it possible to evacuate in good time.

The weather conditions will remain tense for the coming days. Forecasts show that strong thunderstorms and unpleasant weather conditions are still possible. Information on current severe weather warnings can also be called up on St. stormykentrale.de , where warnings are displayed in two categories, pre -warnings and acute warnings, with corresponding color labels.

The DWD will continuously update its warnings and reports. The next update of the weather is expected for June 5, 2025 to communicate further developments in good time dwd.de .
