After the last warm weather, it became more uncomfortable on Monday evening – warm thunderstorms and sometimes heavy rain moved over Rhineland-Palatinate. But apparently everything went smoothly.
There were some fire brigade operations in the Trier region. The Eifel district of Bitburg-Prüm was particularly affected. According to the fire brigade, heavy rain flooded fields, streets and gardens in Orsfeld and Oberkail. Occasionally water had also penetrated into garages. At the campsite in Prüm, water ran into the administration building. Some roads were also flooded in the border area of the Vulkaneifel district and the Eifel district.
According to initial findings, the announced storm did not cause any major damage in the Trier region. Fire brigade operations were mainly in the Eifel.
Floods in NRW and Saarland
It was worse in the neighboring federal states of Saarland and especially North Rhine-Westphalia. Heavy thunderstorms, heavy rain and hail led to flooding and mudslides in several areas of North Rhine-Westphalia. The district of Lippe was particularly affected.
