Emergency management hubs - A handful of storm occurrences took place in Thuringia through the night.

On Saturday, the storm hit Thuringia primarily in the south and east. In the Greiz region, streets were flooded, basements were filled with water, and fields were submerged. In Gera, the floodwaters infiltrated the banks of the Wipse, and the fire department stepped in to empty some flooded basements and reinforce a damaged dike with sandbags.

Weather-wise, Sunday is forecasted to bring brief showers or thunderstorms in the morning. However, it will be much more intense after noon, with heavy rains, strong gusts of wind, and small hail expected in eastern Thuringia. Temperatures are expected to fluctuate between 19 and 24 degrees.
