It will be stormy on Wednesday, especially in northern Germany. Maps give an impression of the weather situation and show where the wind is strongest.
Wind follows winter: According to the German Weather Service (DWD), a storm is moving east across the Arctic Ocean and will cause a stiff breeze throughout the country on Wednesday. In the north and west, severe squalls can be expected temporarily, and on the coasts and at higher altitudes, hurricane-like gusts can be expected, according to the DWD warning situation report on Wednesday morning. The storm peaks in the morning on the North Sea and in the afternoon and evening on the Baltic Sea. In the south and southwest of Germany the wind is somewhat weaker, with mainly stiff gusts. The wind decreases at night.
