The German Weather Service (DWD) had announced heavy rain, hail and gusts of wind. In some places, thunderstorms can cause heavy rain with up to 40 liters per square meter within a short time. Storm to hurricane gusts with wind speeds of 80 to 120 km/h are also possible. The risk of severe weather will slowly decrease from the west in the second half of Friday night. Deep “Lambert“ brought heavy rain, wind and hail over Hesse. At Waldeck am Edersee, some roofs were covered, the police said. A number of cellars were full and many trees fell over, some on parked cars. There is hail damage to buildings. A severe storm with heavy rain, storm and hail hit the city of Kassel and the district on Thursday around 4:30 p.m. The fire brigade and rescue services are in constant use. Over 800 emergency calls were received by the fire brigade control center in the first two hours after the start of the storm. The operation of buses and trains in Kassel was partly completely stopped. This measure in the afternoon was chosen for safety reasons. Stormy gusts, extreme rainfall and hailstorms, for example, led to flooded roads and tracks, branches and trees that fell onto tracks or overhead lines, blocking the routes. There was material damage to vehicles to an extent that is still unknown. The German Weather Service (DWD) is still expecting isolated storms this Friday. Heavy thunderstorms with heavy rain, hail and stormy gusts could still occur, especially in the east and south-east.

According to the DWD, the low is slowly moving towards Poland, with the muggy, warm air being replaced by cooler ones. From the afternoon and evening onwards, the rain will also gradually move eastwards. However, stormy gusts of up to 70 kilometers per hour can still be reached on crests.
