Storm alarm in Wilhelmshaven: violent thunderstorms and heavy rain are threatening!

On June 15, 2025, the Wilhelmshaven region expects uncomfortable weather. The German Weather Service has issued a severe weather warning for the city, warning of severe thunderstorms with squalls and heavy rain. The period of the first warning will range from 1:01 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. and includes gusts of up to 65 km/h (Bft 8) and rainfall amounts of between 15 to 25 liters per square meter per hour. These conditions mean an increased risk of lightning strikes, flying objects and falling branches, which can be dangerous not only for pedestrians but also for road traffic. Many citizens are now called upon to take appropriate precautionary measures.

Especially before severe thunderstorms, it is advised to avoid staying outdoors and avoiding bodies of water. In addition, outdoor items should be secured to minimize potential damage from flying objects. The warning level is classified as a significant weather warning (orange) and could be supplemented by additional warnings such as flooding, aquaplaning or strong winds if severe weather continues.
