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.
