Storm warning in Saxony: thunderstorms, hail and heavy rain are threatening!
It will be turbulent in Saxony on Sunday because the weather forecasts show a huge storm. The German Weather Service is warning of severe thunderstorms from Sunday afternoon, which will particularly affect the regions of Chemnitz, Erzgebirgskreis, Zwickau district, Vogtland and Central Saxony. Heavy rain, hail and squalls are to be expected; we are talking about rainfall of up to 80 liters per square meter in a very short space of time. This can lead to unpleasant surprises, especially on flooded roads or in underpasses, which could significantly affect the driving experience, such as View reported.
Temperatures in the area climb to a bearable 28 to 33 degrees, while in the mountains it is cooler 23 to 27 degrees. But the upcoming thunderstorms not only bring rain, but also danger. Lightning strikes, falling trees and falling objects make the weather potentially dangerous. In view of these predictions, it is better to avoid spending time outdoors and, if necessary, seek shelter indoors. If a cold front pushes over Saxony, special caution is required, recommends the German Weather Service.
How to prepare?
The prospect of strong wind gusts of up to 60 mph (95 km/h) makes it important to secure free-standing objects - be it garden furniture or loose canvases.
