The German Weather Service (DWD) has issued warnings for heavy gusts and potential hurricane-force winds, particularly in North Rhine-Westphalia, Baden-Württemberg, and mountainous regions like the Black Forest and Harz. In North Rhine-Westphalia, gusts could reach up to 95 100 km/h, with specific warnings for Düsseldorf and surrounding areas. potential disruptions to rail traffic. In Baden-Württemberg, the Feldberg mountain is expected to experience hurricane-force gusts of up to 120 km/h.
