Storm chaos in Western Pomerania: School class without teachers in the regional express!

Penkun, Deutschland - The sky above the Uecker-Randow region opened its locks on Monday and Tuesday and ensured considerable chaos. The fire brigade in Vorpommern-Greifswald kept thunderstorms and storms on the trip, which had to cope with a whopping 34 missions between Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning. Falled trees and crashed branches were the most common challenges that occurred primarily in Pasewalk and the Löcknitz Penkun region. Here alone, 29 missions were necessary in order to become the uninvited wooden relatives. There was also damage in Gützkow-Pölschow, with a strong storm caused that the power supply was partially interrupted.

A variety of smaller forest and meadow fires were created by the bleak drought of recent times, but these could be deleted quickly. A wasteland at Züsedom was successfully combated by the fire brigade - a good example of the quick action of the emergency services. The clash of storm and dry weather also led to a remarkable incident: a car was damaged by a falling tree. Another unfortunate event concerned a school class in regional express 3, which continued without their teacher, while the rail travelers had to deal with the chaos of the weather. Here the ventilation systems failed, which also tightened the situation. After three and a half hours of waiting, the passengers received water bottles from the other train employees.

weather forecast and other developments

After this turbulent weather event, the spirits seem to calm down, at least until Thursday. According to meteorologists, a cold front will be passed over the region. The weather conditions are shown in the southern half of Germany under the influence of high pressure, while the north, especially in Western Pomerania, is affected by a low pressure structure over Scandinavia. Stormy gusts can be expected on the coasts until Tuesday evening, followed by windy but quiet days before the next weather change is in the form of shower and thunderstorms.

The storm center describes the various warning levels in its extensive positioning and states that current information is available around the clock. There are preliminary warnings that are issued up to 48 hours in advance, as well as acute warnings that confirm the reliable arrival of a risk of nature. In this turbulent situation, it remains important to follow the weather developments carefully and take security measures. Even if the situation seems to calm down at the moment, caution is required for the forecast thunderstorms.

In the Uecker-Randow region, the challenges may not yet be overcome due to the violent weather. The fire brigades, always ready to support their neighbors in need, once again show how important their quick reaction is. Therefore, it remains exciting how the weather will develop and where the next challenge could lurk.
