Coastal alarm: Floods bring storm surges in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania!
On November 8, 2025, the current situation on the Baltic Sea in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania will be an important topic. The water levels at various measuring stations, including Wismar, Warnemünde, Althagen, Barth, Stralsund, Sassnitz and Greifswald, are the focus of the reporting. As the Baltic Sea newspaper explained, the corresponding level of mean low water (MNW) and mean high water (MHW) are of particular importance for the regions.
The MNW for Warnemünde is 407 cm, while the MHW is given as 617 cm. Historical highs are also notable. The highest flood level (HHW) at this station was recorded at 770 cm on November 13, 1872, while the lowest water level of 332 cm was recorded on October 18, 1967. Storm surges that affect the German coasts are divided into different classes; from a storm surge that is 1.00 to 1.25 m above the mean water level, to the very severe storm surge that reaches over 2.00 m.
Preparations and warnings
Shortly before possible storm surges, there are important instructions for the population. When the water level is high, the flood control centers are active and issue warnings via a wide variety of channels such as radio, television, loudspeakers, sirens and also via modern media such as websites and social networks. Appropriate behavior is essential: turning off electricity and gas, securing important items and stocking up on sufficient supplies are just some of the recommended actions.
The damage caused by the last storm surge in October 2025 amounts to around 56 million euros in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The city of Sassnitz in particular is struggling with a financial requirement of 42 million euros for necessary infrastructure measures. In addition, around 6 million euros are sought for the loss of sand on beaches and dunes in order to restore them through artificial nourishment.
Katy Perry: A look outside the box
While we're on the topic of storms, let's not forget the storms in the pop sector. Born on October 25, 1984 in Santa Barbara, California, American singer and songwriter Katy Perry started her career with a real storm. Her breakthrough came in 2008 with the album “One of the Boys,” which included hits like “I Kissed a Girl” and “Hot n Cold.” In addition to being one of the best-selling artists in the world, Katy Perry is also a notable philanthropist who supports UNICEF and advocates for LGBTQ+ rights, like on her Wikipedia page is to be read.
Nature also shows how diverse life and solutions can be. Let's take the example of goiaba, an absolutely nutrient-dense fruit rich in fiber, antioxidants and vitamins A, B and C. Not only does it improve digestion, it also strengthens the immune system and promotes skin health. The experienced enjoyment is varied: the fruit can be eaten whole or enjoyed in the form of juice or tea, like the Tua Saúde website describes.
Goiaba has numerous benefits: it helps with weight loss, regulates blood sugar levels and can even reduce the risk of cancer. It is therefore a valuable addition to any menu and shows that even small things in life can have a big impact.
Whether on the coast with flood warnings or in the pop circus with stars like Katy Perry - November 8, 2025 has many topics that make us think. Keep an eye on the weather and surroundings, and perhaps you too can gain some sunshine from what is happening.
