Tornado alarm in Baden-Württemberg: Ulm-Donstetten affected!

Ulm-Donaustetten, Deutschland - strong weather keeps Baden-Württemberg in suspense: a tornado of the IF2 level has recently raged in Ulm-Donstetten and has caused considerable damage. The German Weather Service (DWD) does not do any things and describes Tornado as the strongest of the current season. The storm, which pulled over a length of 15.5 kilometers and reached wind speeds of up to 220 km/h, left ghost pictures in a housing estate and on a tree avenue, such as Merkur reported.

Fortunately, there were no injuries to complain about, but the fire brigade in Ulm had a whole list of damage. In addition to covered roofs at several row houses, which are now uninhabitable, parked cars, buildings and gardens were also affected. The dimensions are remarkable and underline the danger of such weather events, as well as Südkurier reported.

tornado cases at a glance

The DWD not only registered this tornado. This year, three other tornado cases have been classified as plausible, with the exact circumstances still partially in the floating. These incidents took place in:

  • Herrenberg (Böblingen district) on June 1st
  • Oberried (district of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald) on June 1st
  • Ludwigshafen/Mannheim area on June 2

A tornado is considered plausible if meteorological conditions are taken into account and weather radar notices are available, even if the image material is missing. So far, the number of tornados in Germany has been rather low compared to the long -term average values ​​of 49 per year. Surprisingly, considering that in 2024 a total of 48 confirmed tornado cases were countable, such as the dwd documented.

A look at the future

In the next two and a half summer months, especially in September, Tornados could again occur because optimal conditions could exist. As far as the meteorologists are concerned, the risk of another tornado is not foreseeable until then. This means that it remains to be seen whether this season has one or the other extreme ready to rewrite Baden's weather story.

The current Situation has many Cologne names, and not only you, make you listen. Tornados are and remain a topic that affects us all and impressively shows how nature can develop its power in this country.
