**Southern Germany Hit by Strong Winds and Supercell Storms**
*August 28 2026 – Southern Germany* – The German Weather Service (Deutscher Wetterdienst, DWD) issued the highest‑level severe weather warnings for Baden‑Württemberg on Friday morning, with the storm system expected to move eastward into Bavaria later in the day.
**Warnings and Expected Conditions**
– **Baden‑Württemberg:** The DWD warned of heavy rain, gale‑force winds and hail, with hailstones up to 6 cm in diameter. Wind gusts of up to 140 km/h were forecast for areas near Lake Constance and the Allgäu region.
– **Bavaria:** By the afternoon, the most intense weather was projected to shift into southeastern Bavaria, close to the Austrian border. Forecasters described an “explosive set‑up” for thunderstorms, including the possibility of supercell conditions as hot, humid air from the south collided with a cold front from the west.
Supercell thunderstorms are rotating storms that can produce powerful downpours and, on occasion, tornadoes.
**Areas Most Affected**
Early on Friday, the districts of Neustadt an der Aisch‑Bad Windsheim and the city of Ansbach in Baden‑Württemberg reported the strongest impacts. In neighboring Bavaria, the districts of Schwäbisch Hall and Hohenlohe experienced the most dramatic weather.
A live‑ticking report from *Focus* magazine listed several Bavarian districts where severe thunderstorms were imminent, including Altötting, Bad Tölz‑Wolfratshausen, Berchtesgadener Land, Cham, Deggendorf, Dingolfing‑Landau, Ebersberg, Erding, Freyung‑Grafenau, Garmisch‑Partenkirchen, Miesbach, Mühldorf a. Inn, Regen, Rottal‑Inn, Straubing‑Bogen, the city of Straubing, Traunstein, Landshut, Munich, Passau, and Rosenheim.
**Impact**
Photographs from the affected region showed fallen trees, damaged rooftops, and debris on railway tracks and roads. No casualties have been reported at the time of writing, but authorities continue to monitor the situation and advise residents to stay indoors and avoid travel where possible.
The DWD will maintain the highest level of storm warning until the system moves out of the region. Residents are urged to follow updates from local authorities and weather services.
