Heavy rain and storm: Bremen weather warns of violent storms!

Bremen, Deutschland - The German Weather Service (DWD) urgently warns of heavy rain in Bremen and the surrounding area. The warning applies to today's Tuesday evening, starting at 7.30 p.m. Rain quantities between 15 and 25 liters per square meter are expected within a very short time. In addition, wind gusts can occur with speeds of up to 70 km/h, which makes the situation even more difficult. The storm is supposed to subside again at 8:30 p.m., but until then the Bremeners should exercise caution. According to merkur.de reported.

What should you consider?

In such a weather, it is advisable to stay at home if possible and not to plan risky outdoor activities. In addition, drivers should exercise caution and adjust to slippery roads. Wind gusts can bring unpleasant surprises with them and, in particular, shaken small vehicles slightly. The warning levels are differentiated from the DWD: from a wind of 50 km/h, the first warning level is already activated, and from 65 km/h it becomes seriously dangerous. In the worst case, the highest warning level of 4 can occur in wind speeds over 140 km/h, which makes the situation dramatic, especially for construction and open -air events, as the current developments in other federal states show

This is not exactly what Bremen should not underestimate: In the event of a regenery event, not only the amount of the falling water is crucial, but also the resulting local floods. Even with relatively low precipitation, strong currents can quickly arise, which make basement floods or streets impassable.

preparations make

In view of these circumstances, it is advisable to prepare for the storm in good time. Always have an emergency set with water, snacks and a flashlight. Information about local emergency numbers and, if necessary, a consultation with neighbors can also be helpful. The possibility of lightning strikes should also not be underestimated - even at warning level 2 of the DWD, the risk of lightning strikes is pointed out.

The situation in northern Germany remains excited and the next few hours can be crucial. Keep your eyes open and follow the current warnings. Perhaps it is better to voluntarily avoid an evening of tennis or barbecue pleasure until the storm warning is over. Be vigilant and stay dry!
