Summary

There is a risk of severe thunderstorms with violent storm or hurricane-force gusts, very heavy rain and hail (level 3 of 4). 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 www.hochwasserzentralen.de

Initial Signal Assessment ProcIntel's automatic, provisional read of this individual Signal -- Initial Significance and Initial Confidence, computed deterministically before any Event extraction or human review.

A provisional, automatically-computed reading of this individual Signal, before Event extraction or human review. Not a final rating.

Initial Significance
2 · Moderate (20.0/100)
Initial Confidence
3 · Moderate (44.64/100)
Data sufficiency Whether enough structured evidence exists to trust this Signal's Initial Confidence reading. 'Sufficient' has no cap; 'Partial' and 'Insufficient' cap Confidence until more evidence is available; 'Not Assessed' means the Signal did not pass the Relevance Gate.
