Stormy weather prevails in large parts of Germany. The timetables of several ferry connections on the North and Baltic Seas have already been disrupted.

Germany is facing widespread stormy weather. Heavy squalls or hurricane-like gusts are to be expected on the coasts and in the higher mountains, and on the Brocken – the highest mountain in northern Germany – hurricane strength will be reached, according to the forecast from the German Weather Service (DWD) this morning.

The ferry company Scandlines has temporarily stopped operations on the Baltic Sea ferry connection between Rostock and the Danish town of Gedser. Operations are scheduled to resume in Rostock from 6 p.m. and in Gedser from 8:15 p.m., as stated on the Scandlines website.

On the North Sea, there are disruptions to ferry connections between Dagebüll – located on the mainland of Schleswig-Holstein – and the islands of Amrum and Föhr. Some trips between the islands and the mainland will be canceled in the morning, as can be seen on the Wyker Dampfschiffs-Reederei (WDR) website.

In addition to the high wind, the DWD meteorologists expect heavy clouds and showery precipitation at times, with breaks in between. It will be very mild this Wednesday with 8 to 15 degrees.
