Severe weather warning: permanent rain floods North Rhine-Westphalia!

In North Rhine-Westphalia it will be uncomfortable today! A former hurricane not only brings gusts of wind, but also massive rains. The German Weather Service (DWD) warns of productive constant rain, which has been moving across the western Germany since Wednesday. Hamm, the Nordeifel and the Bergisches Land, where up to 60 liters of rain per square meter are expected - are particularly affected - this can lead to flooded cellars and slippery roads, warns meteorologist Dominik Jung.

The severe weather warning applies until Thursday, 10 a.m. and the weather will remain tense. The dangers are real: flooding and landslide are possible, especially in areas near waters. In addition, a strongly gusty wind could cause additional problems. In the midst of all this extreme weather, the USA is also preparing for the upcoming hurricane "Milton", which could also have an impact on German vacationers. Report on www.soester-anzeiger.de .
