Continuous Rain in Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria: Risks of Flooding and High Water

echo24ServiceWetter

Continuous rain is to be expected in parts of Baden-Württemberg until Tuesday evening. The result: There is a risk of local flooding and flooding.

Summer in Baden-Württemberg is taking a break. After some heavy thunderstorms with heavy rain and hail in the past few days, there is no improvement in sight for the time being – on the contrary. The German Weather Service (DWD) has issued a level 3 severe weather warning for parts of the country. The reason: “continuous heavy rain”.

The warning has been in effect since Sunday 12 a.m. and will initially apply until Tuesday 6 p.m. During this period, the amount of precipitation must be between 70 l/m² and 90 l/m². It can be particularly tricky in traffic jams, because according to the DWD, rain volumes of up to 100 l/m² can be reached there.

There is a particular risk of flooding along streams and smaller rivers, and it is also possible for roads to be flooded. In an emergency, correct behavior in the event of flooding or heavy rain can save lives. If you are still driving, you should definitely adapt your driving behavior to wet roads in order to avoid aquaplaning.
