Danger! Gusts and thunderstorms are threatening the Mettmann district today!

Today, Thursday, June 26, 2025, brings changeable weather for the North Rhine-Westphalia region. The German Weather Service (DWD) has issued an official warning of strong gusts of wind for the Mettmann district. The difficult weather conditions are due to a cold front moving eastward across the state, as reported by supertipp-online.de.

In the morning, thunderstorms with stormy gusts of up to 70 km/h can occur in the northwest. There is also the possibility of heavy rain with amounts of around 20 l/sqm within an hour, accompanied by small-grain hail. Over the course of the day, widespread, intense thunderstorms are expected, which can be accompanied by gusts of between 65 and 85 km/h as well as heavy rainfall and hail.
