Origin and development of the storm situation
After a long period of high pressure, we are now moving closer Low pressure areas from the Atlantic to Germany. “A high-pressure area will spread to the west again, but every now and then low-pressure areas come to us, and that’s what’s happening at the weekend,” explains Schenk. The cold front that will move across the west and north on Friday will be particularly dangerous.
Precautions for citizens
According to Schenk, the strongest winds occur around midday on Friday: “That’s when it gets pretty dangerous. You should put your things away, otherwise something will fly away.” Even if the gusts of wind decrease over the course of the day, there may still be isolated strong gusts into the evening. On Sunday, a weaker cold front will reach Germany again, but will bring significantly less wind with.
