Sturm warning for Schleswig-Holstein: Dangerous gusts on Wednesday!

Schleswig, Deutschland - A violent storm is now in Schleswig-Holstein on December 18, 2024. The German Weather Service (DWD) draws attention to the dangers of gusts of wind that are expected from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m. Affected areas include Kiel, Neumünster and the districts of Rendsburg-Eckernförde and Ostholstein. In particular, warning level 2 of 4 signals that branches fall fall and objects can fly around, which is potentially dangerous, such as KN reported.

In addition, the DWD also warns for other North German federal states, including Lower Saxony and Hamburg, of stormy gusts. The DWD meteorologist explained that these gusts of wind will increase particularly on the North Sea coast and in northern Schleswig-Holstein. Even after a short calming phase, the dangerous winds are not over, such as ndr .

security measures are urgently advised, since rail traffic in Schleswig-Holstein is also affected in connection with the storm. According to the Deutsche Bahn, there were already interruptions from fallen trees that affected regional traffic between Itzehoe and Ahrensburg. Other routes, such as Hamburg-Lübeck, have also suffered from the storms. As a precaution, the police locked the area around a wind turbine in Lower Saxony after a rotor wing had broken off to minimize security risks.
