Storm flood feared: Berlin tourists on the Baltic Sea coast should be careful!

A storm low is expected next weekend, which can lead to storm surges and floods on the Baltic Sea coast. This coincides with the autumn holidays in many federal states, which means that many vacationers are in the coastal areas. The German Weather Service (DWD) warns above all for the Kiel and Lübeck Bay of a "severe storm surge". According to the Federal Office of Sea shipping and hydrography (BSH), water levels can be reached up to two meters above the middle water level in the Flensburg Fjord. The city of Eckernförde has already posted its citizens by the impending flood and asks them to bring vehicles to higher areas. Floods are also expected in Denmark and Sweden.

This upcoming storm low and the associated storm surges and floods can lead to significant effects on the Baltic Sea coast. Tourists and residents should take the warnings seriously and take precautions. Floods can lead to floods, damage the buildings and infrastructure, make streets impassable and impair train and road traffic. In Denmark and Sweden, the population is also warned and asked to leave endangered coastal areas.

It is important to adhere to the instructions of the authorities and take the necessary protective measures to minimize damage and dangers. Further information and current warnings can be viewed on the websites of the German Weather Service (DWD) and the Federal Office for Sea shipping and hydrography (BSH).
