Severe thunderstorm warning in East Hesse: lightning, storms and flooding are imminent!
On Monday, October 29, 2025, people in East Hesse expect violent thunderstorms. In its current forecast, the German Weather Service (DWD) issues warnings for all eastern Hesse districts, including Fulda, Main-Kinzig-Vogelsberg and Hersfeld-Rotenburg. These warnings are valid until 12.45pm and are classified at level 2 out of 4. The Fuldaer Zeitung shows what dangers threaten during thunderstorms: lightning strikes, falling trees and falling objects are just some of the risks. Flooding of streets and underpasses as well as aquaplaning and hailstorms are also feared.
How will the weather continue? In the afternoon heavy showers are forecast between Fulda, Lauterbach and Schlüchtern. At the same time, there will be a moderate to strong westerly wind, which can become stormy in gusts. The rainfall is likely to ease briefly on Tuesday night, but new rain is moving in from the west. The lowest temperatures this night are between 7 and 4 degrees, in the mountains they even drop to 2 degrees.
Weather trend for the coming days
The weather forecasts show that the storm situation could continue on Tuesday. The maximum temperatures are expected to be between 10 and 15 degrees, while the weather will continue to be characterized by showers. This turbulent weather situation follows an already windy weekend with squalls and showers that already kept the region in suspense.
In a larger context, we need to ask ourselves what such extreme weather events mean for the future. Researchers from the World Weather Attribution initiative warn that the frequency of extreme weather events, such as those represented by Storm Boris, could be twice as high in the future due to climate change. In fact, Europe experienced the warmest summer on record in 2024, according to the EU climate change service Copernicus. These developments, which were ultimately responsible for widespread destruction in countries such as Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria and Romania, are anything but Kajal.
Climate change and extreme weather
The Tagesschau reports devastating rains and an increase in precipitation of up to seven percent, which can be devastating for many regions. Fortunately, there were fewer fatalities this year compared to previous extreme weather events, which is seen as a success of investments in forecasting and early warning systems. Nevertheless, it is hoped that the EU can react more quickly with an emergency fund of ten billion euros to repair damage.
The scientists appeal to take climate change seriously and to integrate it into land use planning. These measures could be crucial to effectively combat future floods and their consequences.
So let's stay vigilant and hope that the coming days go smoothly for all of us! If you would like to find out more about the weather events, you can find further information on Star Peru.
