Storm alarm in Göppingen: thunderstorms and strong winds are threatening!

A significant deterioration in the weather is expected in Germany today, July 16, 2025. The German Weather Service has issued an official weather warning for the Göppingen district in Baden-Württemberg. There is a threat of thunderstorms from 6:09 p.m., which are expected to last until 7:00 p.m. The thunderstorms come from the northwest and bring with them strong gusts of wind that can reach speeds of up to 60 km/h. These gusts can be dangerous because, in addition to lightning strikes, there is also the risk of light objects flying around. This clearly shows that there is a certain risk in the outdoors today. It is therefore advisable to avoid spending time outdoors and seek shelter indoors.

The weather in Göppingen is currently slightly rainy and the temperature is 16°C, while the humidity is very high at 93%. The wind speed today also leaves something to be desired at 3 km/h, but a significant increase to 23 km/h is expected in the hours after 6 p.m. The following hourly weather development shows that the situation will remain tense in the evening hours:

time Temperature (°C) Humidity (%) Wind speed (km/h)
6:00 p.m 17 98 23
7:00 p.m 16 100 25
8:00 p.m 16 100 26

Warning levels and recommendations for action

The DWD distinguishes between four warning levels, with the current warning for Göppingen being classified as yellow. This category signals that weather-related hazards exist, but are not extreme. For other severe weather elements such as heavy rain or snow, there are appropriate warning levels that are assigned by meteorologists depending on the intensity. Because a district can have several warnings at the same time, people should always stay up to date.

Anyone who is going to be outdoors this evening or is planning to do so should have a good hand in choosing the location. To avoid potential damage, it is advised to secure loose items and securely anchor tents and covers. Water should also be avoided as the thunderstorm-like conditions can also pose a danger here. These tips are particularly important before the storms actually start, because safety comes first.

Many people are wondering whether this weather situation will become more stable in the near future. According to information from the weather service, how NDR and Weather.com, such thunderstorms are not uncommon in the summer, where heat and moisture accumulate in the atmosphere. It is therefore advisable to keep yourself regularly informed about the weather conditions in the coming days. Keeping a close eye on forecasts and warnings can minimize a lot of hassle and risk.
