Sturmflut alarm in Bremen: expected up to 1.5 meters flood!

The North Sea raises the alarm! In the night from Sunday to Monday, October 6, 2025, Sturmflut warnings were published in the Weser area, which should make residents listen. According to the T-Online news platform, gusts of up to 85 km/h are expected, while the flood is to be about 1.5 meters above the average flood. This warning of the Federal Office for Sea shipping and hydrography (BSH) is expected to be 3:30 a.m. and makes it clear that special caution is required outdoors. Falling branches and flying objects could be serious dangers. Therefore, the BSH advises to avoid the affected areas and to find out more about local media.

On this restless night, the residents are well advised to secure their free objects and to firmly anchor any tents and covers. The storm, which also affected Lower Saxony, Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, not only brings with high waves, but also a considerable danger potential. NDR reports that in Hamburg the water of the Elbe stepped over the shores and the fish market was flooded at short notice. In Moorwerder, two young people were surprised while walking floods and had to be saved by the fire brigade.

Storm low meets the north

The police also employed the current storm low: On Sunday evening, a siren alarm in Hamburg was accidentally triggered, which was originally only intended for the Overwerder district. A technical defect was responsible for this and led to numerous calls of concerned citizens. In the meantime, several ferries in the north also had to adapt their timetables. Some connections to Norderney and the East Frisian Islands were deleted, which provided many passengers with unexpected challenges.

The predictions show that hurricane gusts with speeds of up to 110 km/h could continue to search for the coastal regions. In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Schleswig-Holstein there were already fallen trees, but fortunately there are no major damage or injuries. The BSH has determined that a total of 13 storm surges were registered for the 2023/2024 season, with the past flood events, such as in Bremen, reaching maximum levels of up to 926 cm above the normal zero.

Caution is better than forbearance

In times like these, it is important that the residents remain vigilant and take advice from the authorities seriously. Freedom for celebrations and events should currently be put down. The situation could change rapidly depending on the weather development, and those who do not prepare for the warnings could face unexpected difficulties. So, stay safe and regularly find out about the current weather conditions. Your security comes first!
