Severe thunderstorm warning: lightning and storms are threatening in the Trier area!
The weather situation in the Trier-Saarburg region today is anything but a walk in the park. The German Weather Service (DWD) has issued a warning of severe thunderstorms for today, Saturday, June 14, 2025, which will have effects from 2:05 p.m. to around 3:30 p.m. The thunderstorms are coming from the southwest and are bringing a lot with them: heavy rain with precipitation amounts of up to 25 liters per square meter within an hour, as well as gusts of between 75 and 90 km/h (Bft 9 to 10) and small-grain hail are to be expected. These clear forecasts underscore that citizens should prepare for intense weather events.
A look at the forecast for the rest of the day shows that unpleasant developments cannot be ruled out: heavy rain can reach up to 40 l/m², perhaps even more in some places. In addition, there is hail with a grain size of around 3 cm and heavy squalls that can reach speeds of up to 100 km/h. Even hurricane-like gusts of up to 110 km/h cannot be ignored, which can lead to a threatening situation.
Dangers and recommendations
The DWD is sounding the alarm because the dangers are diverse: lightning strikes can be life-threatening, and hail could cause damage to vehicles and buildings. There is a possibility of falling trees or falling branches, as well as flooded streets, underpasses and basements. Aquaplaning could pose a serious challenge for drivers, and traffic disruptions cannot be ruled out.
The DWD therefore recommends checking the warning situation regularly and preparing for possible storms. Current information and important information can be found at www.dwd.de.
Severe weather maps and warning levels
The DWD is not the only one keeping an eye on weather developments. The Severe Weather Center offers a comprehensive overview map that shows severe weather warnings and weather advisories for the whole of Germany. Severe weather such as storms, heavy rain and thunderstorms are presented here in a clearly understandable way. A distinction is made between advance warnings, which are given up to 48 hours in advance, and acute warnings, which provide information in good time before a dangerous situation occurs.
The severe weather warnings are divided into different warning levels - from orange, which signals moderate storms, to red alert for severe storms. Information provided by experienced meteorologists is constantly updated. This means that changes in weather conditions and their intensity can never be completely ruled out and you stay informed around the clock.
There are also differentiated warning levels for more specific weather phenomena such as heavy rain, thunderstorms and gusts of wind, so that any danger can be warned. An overview of this can be found at weather.com find.
Overall, it shows that the coming hours will demand a lot. Prepare yourself well, stay informed and protect yourself and your loved ones from the unpleasant weather conditions that the weather is bringing us today.
