Storm alarm in MV: Up to 140 liters of rain expected – protect yourself!
A severe storm is imminent: The German Weather Service (DWD) issued a severe weather warning for Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania today. The regions of Rostock, Vorpommern-Rügen and Vorpommern-Greifswald are particularly affected. Heavy rain amounts of between 30 and 60 liters per square meter are expected there, and locally up to 140 liters are possible within six to twelve hours. According to ndr.de gusts of up to 85 km/h and hail can also be expected.
The warning is valid until Tuesday afternoon and is aimed at all drivers: Particular caution is required as there is a risk of flooding of streets, underpasses and basements. Aquaplaning and landslides pose additional dangers. The DWD strongly advises that in the event of flood warnings, ensure that basement rooms are cleared.
Expectations and recommendations
The temperatures are also changeable in front of this storm relic. Up to 26 degrees are expected on land, while it will remain a little cooler on the Baltic Sea, with a maximum of 24 degrees. The influence of Deep Isaac causes constant weather changes in this region. It remains unclear whether thunderstorms and heavy rain could reach the cities of Rostock and Teterow.
The storm is not just a short-term problem. The challenges posed by floods, storms and heatwaves are highlighted by dwd.de. The DWD has therefore launched the natural hazards portal, which serves as a central point of contact and offers current warnings and preventative measures. Here, users can use interactive maps to find out about risks in their area and view specific warnings in four color levels.
Be prepared for emergencies
The portal also contains useful information on dealing with damage and preparing for natural events. Did you know that after reporting a dangerous scenario, tips on how to avert danger are also given? An example: A homeowner receives a flood warning and can take immediate action to protect her property.
According to unwetterzentrale.de, severe weather warnings can be divided into two types: advance warnings (in yellow) are issued up to 48 hours before a possible storm, while acute warnings confirm the arrival of a natural hazard. The severe weather center provides information about current weather conditions around the clock in four different warning levels - from moderate to extreme storms.
In these turbulent times, it is more important than ever to stay informed about the latest developments and warnings in order to avoid unpleasant surprises. So be vigilant and avoid unnecessary travel during the forecast storm!
