today up to 15 degrees in Hamburg

Even while the last snow is still lying in Hamburg, the weather people predict a rise in temperature. It’s supposed to be up to 15 degrees today.

Hamburg – Let’s continue with the weather roller coaster in the north: cold chaos with snow and sleet thunderstorms? Over. For the new week, not winter, but spring friends will get their money’s worth. Because on the warmest day of the year so far, the weather in Hamburg will also be mild: the German Weather Service (DWD) expects 15 degrees today in the Hanseatic city. But a change in the weather wouldn’t be a change in the weather if there weren’t a few unpleasant side effects.

Weather in Hamburg: The snow has hardly gone and the temperatures are in the double digits

But first the good news for all those who have long since said goodbye to winter by mid-March: Because while the last snowball may still be flying through the air this morning, the thermometer is climbing inexorably. In the afternoon it should even reach 15 degrees in Hamburg. The islands in the north don’t quite make it, but 9 to 13 degrees can also be expected in the rest of northern Germany.

According to the German Weather Service, this is made possible by a storm that is currently moving from the British Isles to Scandinavia. Its current is blowing mild sea air to Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg today.

“Things are going really well there”: strong gusts of wind accompany the mild temperatures

But the storm would not be the storm if it didn’t also have some uncomfortable truths at hand. Because instead of sunshine at the beginning of spring, it will be raining in Hamburg and the surrounding area today. After the last crash on the roads due to the slippery weather, the sky will probably continue – short thunderstorms can report all afternoon.

The North Germans are also enjoying the dubious benefit of the core competence of a storm depression today. The German Weather Service warns that there are widespread gusts of wind between 65 and 85 km/h during the day – until the evening there are even strong gusts of wind of around 95 km/h in between. Continuous rain, thunderstorms, gusts of wind? “Things really get going there,” summarizes qualified meteorologist Dominik Jung von Wetter.net the situation in the north together.

Northern Germany not alone with extreme weather: tornado danger in the south

In his weather report, however, Jung was more concerned with the south of the country. Because the weather capers from Hamburg and the surrounding area are even more extreme on Monday. It gets warm there too – “and then it really bangs”warns Dominik Jung.

Southern Germans can enjoy temperatures of up to 24 degrees today. But you don’t just pay for these pre-summer temperatures with gusts of wind – but directly with the danger of tornadoes! The violent thunderstorms round off another strange weather day in Germany.
