Overview
What happened Source facts
There is a risk of severe thunderstorms with violent storm or hurricane-force gusts, very heavy rain and hail (level 3 of 4). Occurrence: isolated; Approaching from: south-west; Max. gusts: < 120 km/h; Precipitation amounts: ~ 30 l/m²/1h; Hail: ~3 cm Great danger due to: lightning (danger to life!); widespread falling trees, high-voltage power lines, scaffolding and other (possibly large) objects; falling branches, roof tiles and other (possibly large) objects; damage to buildings; rapid flooding of roads, subways and basements; widespread aquaplaning; possible mudslides; hail. Recommendations for what to do: Avoid staying outdoors and seek shelter (e.g. in buildings). Avoid being near lakes and rivers Be prepared for considerable and widespread disruption to transport routes, including road closures. If there is enough time: secure or store away outdoor objects. Keep sufficient distance from buildings, trees, scaffolding and high-voltage power lines. Close all doors and windows. Avoid flooded areas and areas at risk. If appropriate, take precautions against flooding. If flooding is expected or has already set in, leave the basement immediately. Keep up to date on the flood situation at

Why ProcIntel Rates This
Every rating below is produced from the logged facts by consistent, rules-based scoring — never from the tone or wording of the source.
Significance Significance estimates the potential procurement impact of the event, including factors such as supply, cost, operations, geography and strategic importance.
2 · Moderate- No severity/criticality baseline is defined for this event type.
- No specific geography identified yet.
- No specific organisation linked yet — geographies, commodities and routes do not count as organisations.
- At least one procurement category is affected, which adds breadth alongside any organisations.
- Time horizon is not yet assessed for individual Events; a standard short-term assumption is used.
Confidence Confidence indicates how reliable ProcIntel considers the event assessment based on the quality, quantity and independence of the supporting evidence. It does not measure the event's importance.
3 · Moderate- Reported only by secondary sources so far — no primary/official confirmation yet.
- Reported by a single source so far — not yet independently corroborated.
- Key facts (what happened, when) are fully documented.
- Evidence has not been updated in 30 days.
Urgency How soon the evidence already identified for this event suggests action may be needed. Unknown means no sufficiently explicit or quantified timing evidence has been identified -- ProcIntel never infers a timeframe where the evidence does not support one.
UnknownTiming not established. No sufficiently explicit or quantified timing evidence has been identified. Procintel has not inferred urgency where timing evidence is insufficient.
Impact Direction Whether the procurement impact of this development is assessed as negative, positive, or neutral/mixed.
NegativeProvisional default — not yet reviewed.
