To heat wave: thunderstorms Hamburg threaten on Sunday!

To heat wave: thunderstorms Hamburg threaten on Sunday!

Hamburg, Deutschland - In Hamburg, people are still enjoying the sun at the moment, but the joy could soon be clouded. In the past few days there have been pleasant conditions at temperatures around 30 degrees, which could now be replaced by an approaching storm. The German Weather Service (DWD) warns of strong thunderstorms and shower -like rain for Sunday, while the temperatures in the Hanseatic city will fall to about 24 degrees. Only 19 degrees can be expected on the North Sea islands, which abruptly ends the summer flair of the past few days.

The forecasts also indicate that it cools noticeably on Monday night, where temperatures between 12 and 14 degrees are expected. For the Monday itself, there are about 22 degrees on the thermometer in Hamburg, even if the clouds in the sky could create a rather gray mood. A little ray of hope: high "Yvonne" is in the starting blocks and could ensure that the weather is soon.

severe weather warnings in detail

Like Wetter.com's weather service, which provides information about the current storm situation, there are various warning levels. In the case of wind gusts from 50 km/h, it is already serious, while the warning level for exceptionally strong thunderstorms only starts from a combination of hail and hurricane -like gusts. If you expect lightning -like thunderstorms, you should also note the warnings here. Particularly worrying: In some regions, there are even warnings of the highest level, which urgently calls on the population to take precautions if the storm really strikes. You can find more about this on Wetter.com, which is constantly providing current severe weather warnings.

But the weather is not just a question of the Whys and Hows, because the current developments are also all about progressive climate change. The Tagesschau reported on the serious effects that Germany and especially the coastal regions have already felt. The number of heat waves increases, which particularly affects vulnerable groups in cities. This is no wonder either: the years before 1990, which were extremely extreme at the time, are the new everyday life, a fact that is clearly reflected in the climate report of the DWD.

consequences for nature and society

The caps of weather that we are currently experiencing are not isolated cases. Tobias Fuchs from the DWD emphasizes that the extreme events are not without consequences. This is how pollen allergy sufferers suffer from shorter winters, while agriculture also has to struggle under fall floods and droughts. The image is rounded off by rising temperatures that lead to coastal regions increasingly to have to be warned of the challenges of the increasing sea level.

Overall, the climate crisis is becoming increasingly noticeable, and everyone should act quickly to avoid future disasters. Another important topic is health because the spread by insects of transferred diseases such as early summer meningoencephalitis (TBE) could also increase. With this information, the DWD raises awareness of the challenges we are facing and brings the topic to the agenda of our daily considerations.

In the coming days it remains exciting to see how the weather will develop in Hamburg. Despite a announced reassurance of the weather conditions by "Yvonne", the weather is in the air until the final clarity. A look at the warning levels and the forecasts of the next few days could not hurt! Further details on the prediction and the current developments can be found at the mopo and wetter.com. We also recommend the Tagesschau for insights into climate change.
