On Friday night, light rain will begin to fall in southern Germany and along the coastline in the north. Strong winds will pick up along the coast and in higher regions. In more exposed mountainous areas, warnings have been issued of gale force winds during the night.

“A low pressure system over the Atlantic has developed into a serious storm. It will be battering northern Scandinavia on Saturday, but we will feel the effects, as stormy gusts hit Germany” said Dorothea Patzold of the DWD.
