"Meteorologist Simon Trippler from the German Weather Service (DWD) warns that residents can expect wind speeds exceeding 100 kilometres per hour, with particularly fierce gale-force and possibly hurricane-force gusts on higher mountain peaks and along the North Sea coast. In the mountain regions, snow is expected to fall once the cold front arrives, with the snow line dipping to around 1,000 metres."
"The storm's development could feature a "Sting-Jet" - a rare meteorological phenomenon that brings a narrow band of especially intense wind. It's so-called because it can resemble the tail of a scorpion on weather maps. However, current models suggest these winds might be slightly less severe than initially feared. By Friday, the storm's winds will subside gradually, but a persistent chill will remain."
A significant autumn storm will sweep across much of Germany from Thursday through the weekend, bringing fierce gusts of wind, heavy rain and falling temperatures. Wind speeds may exceed 100 kilometres per hour, with particularly fierce gale- or possibly hurricane-force gusts on higher mountain peaks and along the North Sea coast. Mountain regions will see snow once the cold front arrives, with the snow line near 1,000 metres. The storm's development could include a narrow, intense 'Sting-Jet' band, though models indicate the winds might be slightly less severe than initially feared. By Friday winds will ease but a persistent chill will keep temperatures as low as 3–4C in some areas, and weekend conditions remain unsettled with travel risks from fallen trees and wind damage.
