“Ylenia” sweeps across the north. The consequences: storm surge, many fire brigade operations, train cancellations and canceled flights and a waiting cruise ship in high waves. An end to the stormy days is not yet in sight.

DThe Hamburg fire brigade declared a state of emergency for the Hanseatic city on Thursday morning because there have been many operations throughout the city since the early hours of the morning. The low “Ylenia” got off to a relatively slow start during the night, but then left clearer traces. The state of emergency has an advantage for the people of Hamburg – operations, for example because of fallen trees, do not have to be paid for themselves.

Many parents and students also considered on Thursday whether the way to school is safe enough – the authorities had lifted the requirement to be present in the event that this route was considered dangerous. Otherwise, classes will take place as planned. The Hagenbeck Zoo, on the other hand, will remain closed on Thursday, according to the zoo management.

Train travelers in the north are affected by massive restrictions due to the current storm. Operations are severely restricted in large parts of Germany, a railway spokesman said on Thursday morning. “In the northern half, there are no long-distance trains until noon.” This applies to Lower Saxony, Bremen, Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Berlin and Brandenburg.

There are also cancellations and delays in regional transport and some S-Bahn trains. In Lower Saxony, no train traffic is possible due to the storm damage south of Hamburg. Due to the ongoing storm, further disruptions are to be expected. Deutsche Bahn is working to eliminate disruptions.

There is also an Aida cruise ship in the German Bight that is currently not allowed to enter the port of Hamburg and has to wait for better weather conditions when the waves are high.

Meanwhile, restrictions are also being reported for air traffic. In addition to the 20 cancellations that have already been announced, Lufthansa will not be canceling any other connections during the course of the day. This is still the state of affairs, said a company spokesman on Thursday morning on request. According to the operator, connections to Berlin, Munich and Hamburg are affected at the largest German airport in Frankfurt. Around a dozen flights are canceled at Hamburg Airport.

The fish market is also under water again

In the Hanseatic city, the fish market was flooded again in the morning. “A value of 1.98 meters above the mean high water level (MHW) was measured at around 5 a.m. at the St. Pauli level,” said a spokesman for the storm surge warning service of the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) in Hamburg. On the North Sea coast, the BSH speaks of a storm surge from 1.5 meters above MHW. A severe or very severe storm surge is only spoken of from values ​​of 2.5 or 3.5 meters.

There was a storm surge in some places on the Schleswig-Holstein North Sea coast – in Husum, for example, a water level of 1.64 meters above the mean high water level was measured. At many other gauges, however, the water levels remained below the level of a storm surge. The BSH also warned of increased water levels for the midday and afternoon floods on Thursday.

According to the DWD, the wind from low “Ylenia” will slowly decrease from Thursday afternoon. However, the breather should only be brief. The next hurricane – called “Zeynep” – is expected to come from the British Isles as early as Friday afternoon.

According to the DWD, the northern half in particular will probably be affected again. But the forecasts are not entirely certain: “The models still have very different simulations,” said press spokesman and meteorologist Andreas Friedrich on Wednesday. The weather situation is very dynamic.
