Severe weather warning for the Saarland: violent storms and rain awaited

A heavy storm is on the way to Germany and the Saarland could be particularly affected. According to weather experts, the region is expected to be one of the first by the effects of the approaching storm, which brings hurricane -like gusts of up to 100 km/h. If the look at the predictions falls, the signs are on storm warning.

The storm has its causes in the remains of a former hurricane, which will not only bring heavy winds but also considerable rains. In cities like Merzig, up to 70 liters of precipitation per square meter is expected, while Neunkirchen can expect around 60 liters. Such rainy amounts could cause serious flooding and bring considerable dangers together with the strong winds.

preparations for the storm

The exact effects of the storm and its arrival time can only be predicted more precisely on Tuesday evening, a spokesman for the German Weather Service (DWD) said. Residents are asked to take precautionary measures and bring themselves to safety. The risks are complex: In addition to falling trees and falling branches, there is the possibility that loose objects are torn down by buildings such as bricks or damages.

In the coming days, it can be expected that the security forces and emergency services in Saarland will be willing to alert. The population is asked to observe the weather warnings and instructions from the authorities in order to bring themselves to safety.
