Salva alarm in Osnabrück: Heavy thunderstorms and heavy rain threaten!

A violent storm is imminent! The German Weather Service (DWD) has issued an official severe weather warning for Osnabrück and the Osnabrück district. This applies in particular to the period from 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. this evening, June 14, 2025. During this time, strong thunderstorms are expected from the south, which will go hand in hand with storm gusts of up to 75 km/h and heavy rain of 15 to 25 liters per square meter per hour. In addition, hailstorms could also occur, which is why the population should be vigilant. Hasepost reports on the potential dangers connected to this change in weather.

The risks should not be underestimated. From danger to life from lightning strikes to falling branches and flying objects - the warning urgently draws attention to these possible dangers. Aquaplaning and quick flooding of roads and underpasses are also serious scenarios. The population is urgently asked to follow the weather with a watchful eye and take warnings seriously.

safety instructions for the population

to protect yourself and others, the DWD gives some behavior tips. This includes staying outdoors, looking for protection in buildings and keeping the distance from trees and keeping water. Loose outdoor objects such as garden furniture should be secured because they can become dangerous projectiles with the expected wind gusts. The DWD advises caution on the road and recommends avoiding flooded roads.

Additional information about the upcoming weather conditions can also be found via Wetter.com and the Storm Center are called up. These platforms offer a comprehensive overview of all current weather warnings and recommended security measures. The headquarters not only informs about upcoming storms, but also about their potential effects on road conditions and general security.

The forecasts for the gusts of wind are particularly worrying. These depend on different warning levels that are determined by the DWD. The warning levels vary depending on the strength of the gusts and the associated dangers. For example, the first warnings are already pronounced in gusts over 50 km/h, while storm gusts over 75 km/h bring acute dangers. In extreme weather conditions, even a warning level of over 140 km/h is issued, which should alert the population comprehensively.

Cool heads are now in demand! While we have to be prepared for the upcoming storm, it is also important to keep the calm and to follow the requirements of the weather services. Protect yourself and your surroundings so that we can safely get through the storm together!
