Severe weather warnings: Thunderstorms and hail threaten Central and southern Germany!

Today, on June 15, 2025, the citizens in Cologne are facing a change of weather that has it all. What feels like a refreshing cooling after the heat could quickly change into violent thunderstorms and uncomfortable conditions. The German Weather Service (DWD) warns, especially in the eastern and southern regions of Germany, of sometimes violent thunderstorms, hail and heavy rain. This warning not only affects our space, but also Saxony and Baden-Württemberg, where locally strong thunderstorms already cause a stir. FR.DE reports that…

The Situation continues to come to a head: in Ulm and the surrounding area, the severe weather warning of level 3 (red) applies, while in southern doors even level 4 (violet) was reached. For many households, especially in the Eifelkreis Bitburg-Prüm, this means that they have to adjust to power failures. There, the thunderstorms already provided the failure of the power supply for up to 700 residents. A lightning strike in Winterspelt also led to further failures in Neuerburg. The fire brigade had their hands full, not only in Paderborn, but also in Bremen, where kinked trees and floods led to numerous missions.

impressions of the storm situation

Friends of the rather quiet weather may prepare for an inconsistent weather situation in the coming days. The temperatures in North Rhine-Westphalia fall on modest 22 to 26 degrees. If you have a basement or deep rooms in this weather, you should exercise caution. In the Eifel and especially in Paderborn, funnel -shaped cloud formations have already been spotted, which suggest the possibility of a tornado. In just three hours, 30 to 40 liters of rain per square meter fell in this place, a considerable amount!

The storm center offers comprehensive information and recently warned of possible natural hazards such as storm and rain. In Germany there are currently a variety of severe weather warnings that are displayed by local preliminary warnings or acute warnings.
