Salva alarm in North Rhine -Westphalia: Thunderstorms and heavy rain until Tuesday evening!

In North Rhine-Westphalia, the weather conditions are currently tense. A low pressure area not only brings gray clouds, but also numerous showers and thunderstorms. As the German Weather Service (DWD) reports, there are current warnings for many regions in NRW that last until the evening. The warning of strong thunderstorms in the west and south of the country applies until 5 p.m., whereby rainy amounts of up to 25 liters per square meter are expected. In the north and in the middle of North Rhine -Westphalia, completely before Cologne, the thunderstorms are also on the way, while the east can get away a little better, where the warning continues until 6 p.m. The districts of Borken, Recklinghausen and Wesel are particularly affected, in which an official severe weather warning for heavy rain and hail was also issued. However, this warning will be lifted at 2:30 p.m. "The risk of storm is locally limited," said meteorologist Verena Leyendecker and made it clear that there was no violent weather events everywhere, but many areas are still affected. The storm center also leads an overview map for the individual regions, such as the Lower Rhine lowlands, the Bay of Cologne and the Ruhr area, and announces important information about the current danger situation.
