Severe weather warning: Expect violent thunderstorms and heavy rain over Nuremberg!

The weather in Nuremberg and the surrounding regions is changing dramatically today. The German Weather Service (DWD) issues an official storm warning for strong thunderstorms and heavy rain. Significant weather events are to be expected, especially between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. During this time, squalls, heavy rain of up to 30 liters per hour and small-grain hail can occur in Nuremberg, the Nuremberg region, Neustadt an der Aisch-Bad Windsheim, Fürth, Erlangen, Forchheim and parts of the Ansbach district t-online.de reported.

It is not without reason that the warnings should be taken seriously. The lightning-like thunderstorms pose a danger to life and limb, especially through possible lightning strikes. Rapid flooding of streets and underpasses also poses an increased risk. The DWD therefore recommends that all citizens not stay outdoors during thunderstorms and to adapt their behavior in traffic accordingly. Flooded roads should be avoided at all costs.

Regionally affected

The regions northwest of Nuremberg are also particularly affected, where there is a risk of local heavy rain of up to 40 liters per square meter per hour. The first storm front is expected towards the afternoon, with the weather expected to calm down from 5 p.m. Everyone who is currently traveling in the affected areas should therefore be careful and keep an eye on current developments, according to information from unwetter-radar.de.

It is advisable to listen to local weather warnings and continually monitor the situation. Possible changes in the weather situation can occur quickly.
