Sturm warning for Karlsruhe: up to 85 km/h - caution!

Karlsruhe, Deutschland - alarm level red in Karlsruhe! The German Weather Service (DWD) has published an official weather warning that warns of violent gusts of wind that can reach speeds of up to 85 km/h in unprotected areas. The city is preparing for possible damage, while the citizens are asked to exercise caution.

On Tuesday afternoon, it remained relatively quiet in Karlsruhe despite the storm warning. The police reported only three around around the motorcycles that had been overturned in a parking lot in the Oststadt and a fallen tree in Pfinztaler Dahlienstrasse. The situation seems under control, but the warning remains in force until 7 p.m. A KVV spokesman confirmed that there are no disturbances in the tram network so far - a small relief in this stormy time.

The warning of the DWD should not be underestimated! The strong winds can cause branches to break off and fly loose objects such as garden furniture through the air. The population is urgently asked to secure everything outdoors to avoid damage and injuries. The police's emergency services have so far not moved out for storm damage, but the situation could change quickly if the wind continues to win strength.
