Storm warning for Schleswig-Holstein: thunderstorms and squalls until 10 p.m.!

On Wednesday, July 2, 2025, a record-breaking temperature of up to 34 degrees was measured in Schleswig-Holstein. But the summer weather didn't last long. A few hours later, the German Weather Service (DWD) issued a storm warning for several regions in Schleswig-Holstein. The Rendsburg-Eckernförde and Segeberg districts are particularly affected. The warning is in effect until 10 p.m. and brings with it the possible risk of squalls and falling branches.

As in other parts of Germany, the current weather situation is taking a treacherous turn with thunderstorms forecast in cities such as Kiel and Neumünster. In the districts mentioned as well as in Plön and Ostholstein, residents should prepare for strong thunderstorms and the associated dangers, according to the forecasts from unwetterzentrale.de.

Storm hazards in detail

The severe weather warnings range from advance warnings to acute warnings. In this case, there is a risk of squalls, which are expected to be widespread in all affected districts. These could reach wind speeds of up to 102 km/h, which corresponds to level 10 on the Beaufort scale. It is important to take such warnings seriously as they can cause significant damage, as reported by kn-online.de and dwd.de clarify.

In addition, thunderstorms in the middle and north of Germany are causing unrest into the night. The DWD warns of severe thunderstorms with hail and heavy rain as well as gusts of over 100 km/h. The wind will ease over the course of the night, but caution is still advised until the cold front reaches its full extent.

What to expect?

In the coming days, a northern cold front will weaken the heat and bring cool maritime polar air. Thunderstorm activity could decrease in the first half of the night, but squalls are also expected in the south. Meteorologists warn that there could be a risk of further thunderstorms later on Thursday, especially in the south of the Danube. The forecast rainfall amounts could reach up to 25 l/sqm/h.

The population should keep an eye on current developments and stay informed about the weather service announcements, as the weather situation is constantly monitored. The meteorologists at the severe weather center are active around the clock to adapt and update warnings and forecasts in a timely manner.

With a look at the weather reports, which are also provided by dwd.de, it remains to be seen how the weather situation in Schleswig-Holstein will develop. Having a good hand won't hurt some people here - it's better to be safe than sorry!
