Mini super cell meets Bremen: 1856 lightning and violent heavy rain!

Bremen, Deutschland - On the night of Sunday, a huge storm formation about Bremen, Delmenhorst and its surroundings raged. Heavy rain, violent gusts of wind and even hurricane -like gusts kept the residents in suspense. The German Weather Service (DWD) stamped this phenomenon as a mini super cell. Such thunderstorms are characterized by their low-structuring, rotating winds and can cause very locally limited but violent weather events, such as [Weser-Kurier] (https://www.weser-kurier.de/bremen/mini-superzelle-in-nacht-ueber-un-der- Region-doc812525y5u8) reported.

In the period between 11:55 p.m. and 0:25 a.m., one counted over Delmenhorst, Ganderkesee and the western part of Bremen and wrote a whopping and writing flashes in 1856. A few minutes later, around 25 liters of rain per square meter fell in the region within 30 minutes. The police in Bremen and Delmenhorst initially reported no major operations, but the Bremen fire brigade was challenged on Sunday morning with a total of ten missions. Two of them were full of basements, while the rest of the falling branches were concerned on streets.

possible thunderstorms in Germany

The weather conditions in Germany remains tense. As well as [https://www.hna.de/welt/unwetter-ueber-deutschland-welche- Regions-Superzellen-Hagel-Hagel-Hagel-Hagel-Gefaehrliche-zr-9376748.html) and [Comee-on] (https://www.come-on.de/deutschland-welt/superzellen-hagel-tornadogefahr-gefaehr- Uhrwetter-Ueber-Welche-Welche-Regions-ZR-93766748.html). Storm gusts can go hand in hand. Weather expert Kathy Schrey warns that these hailstones can achieve a diameter of over 5 cm and cause considerable damage to buildings and vehicles.

The current weather situation is characterized by extreme wind shear, which brings huge changes in the wind direction and speed and can favor the formation of tornados. The DWD therefore calls for caution and indicates the same for the coming days. Anyone who is in affected areas should best stay at home to protect themselves and others.

protection against the storms

The risks that arise from these weather phenomena should not be underestimated. In addition to the forces of nature itself, there is also the risk of flooding in densely built -up areas. Regions in which up to 30 liters of rain per square meter can fall in particular could be affected. Storm gusts could reach speeds of up to 110 km/h. Here, too, it is time to stay attentive and take the warnings of the DWD seriously to avoid accidents and damage.

In such a weather chaos, it is important to keep an eye on both your own security and that of fellow human beings. Nature shows itself from its wildest side, and with the right caution you can come through the storm time, despite everything.
