Despite the ongoing rain forecasted for Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Thuringia, the German Weather Service (DWD) does not anticipate significant rainfall chunks. However, stormy gusts and squalls are expected, particularly on the ridges and summits, with gale-force gusts possible on the Brocken in Saxony-Anhalt.
The flooding situation in Thuringia has improved slightly, with water levels decreasing in some parts. In Saxony-Anhalt, the Pretzien weir was opened by the State Office for Flood Protection and Water Management (LHW) to alleviate the flood situation in Magdeburg and Schönebeck.
The Elbe has been a focal point of the flooding efforts in Saxony, with the German Weather Service monitoring the weather closely to predict any further rainfall and its potential impact on the already affected regions.
The flood conditions have also resulted in some unusual circumstances, such as brief thunderstorms in Saxony-Anhalt during the night, and temperatures dropping to as low as 2 degrees in some areas.
