Storm surge on Sunday?
The Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) warns of a storm surge on the German North Sea coast during Sunday afternoon. In Hamburg there is a threat of a flood similar to that of the night. Slightly less flooding is expected on the North Sea coast. The danger persists until around 2:30 p.m.
Bahn stops traffic
In the north and north-east of Germany, train traffic is also very badly affected on Sunday – on some routes the train is no longer running at all. If you currently want to travel to these regions, you should first the timetables on the Deutsche Bahn website look at.
