LOOK. The south of Germany already had to deal with a storm, strong gusts of wind, lots of rain and large hail balls
The collapse of a beer tent during a storm in South German Kissing near Augsburg (Swabia) on Saturday left about twelve people injured, six of them seriously, according to the police. They were setting up the tent and trying to hold it when the storm broke.
The storm left a trail of destruction in the region, with hail damage to buildings and flooded basements and streets. Severe thunderstorms also raged in Upper Bavaria on Saturday. From Bad Tölz to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, heavy rains, hurricane-force storms and hailstones the size of tennis balls left a trail of destruction, including numerous broken car windows, according to police. The A95 Munich-Garmisch motorway had to be temporarily closed due to torn off branches on the carriageways.
In the night from Thursday to Friday, parts of southern Germany were also hit by a severe storm, with at least one person dead and several injured.
More heavy rain is expected in the south of Germany (in Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria) on Sunday. This increases the risk of flooding. Local thunderstorms are accompanied by heavy rain and hail. More than 50 liters of rain per square meter can fall in a short time. There is a risk that cellars will flood and streets will become flooded, German meteorologists warn.
The precipitation in southern Germany will turn into heavy continuous rain on Sunday and spread via Franconia to Saxony and Brandenburg. With the exception of a few showers, it will remain very wet in the south and east of the country until Tuesday. Especially in southern Bavaria and in the southeast of Baden-Württemberg, 100 to 150 liters of rain per square meter fall.
Also south of Francethe Alpine countries and North-Italy get it over the next few days. The heavy precipitation is also expected to cause problems and nuisance in those areas. Initially, the Alps are particularly affected. As the storm moves east on Sunday and Monday, Northern Italy, Croatia and Slovenia will also be affected.
