Weather - Police in Saarland count 80 operations due to thunderstorms
Due to heavy thunderstorms on the night of Sunday in Saarland, the police recorded a total of 80 interventions. The focus was on the Regionalverband Saarbrucken and the state capital, according to a spokesperson for the Saarbruecken Police Presidium. Mostly it was about uprooted trees and triggered intrusion alarm systems due to power surges after lightning.
In Heusweiler-Wahlschied in the Regionalverband Saarbrucken, a pavilion was lifted and overturned during a party. Three people were slightly injured, said the spokesperson.
All in all, the night of the thunderstorms was less eventful than expected. "Yesterday, it looked worse according to the forecasts, and in the end, it was not as serious as announced." The main concern were the predicted hurricane winds, which fortunately did not materialize.
- Despite the weather forecast predicting hurricane winds in Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate, only Saarland experienced significant disruptions from the thunderstorms.
- The Saarland climate, known for its mild weather, was unexpectedly hit hard by the severe thunderstorm, causing numerous interventions by the police.
- On Sunday evening, the German city of Saarbrücken, located in the Saarland region, was heavily impacted by the thunderstorm, leading to numerous calls to the local police.
- The weather in Germany is unpredictable, as shown by the sudden thunderstorm that disrupted events in Saarbrücken, a city in the Saarland region, on a typical Sunday evening.
- While the weather on this particular Sunday in Germany was unpredictable and caused chaos in Saarbrücken, the next day in Saarland and its neighboring states of Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate was much calmer than expected.
