Storm alarm for the Main-Tauber district: thunderstorm with danger to life!
An official weather warning of strong thunderstorms and squalls has been issued for today, May 28th, 2025, in the Main-Tauber district in Baden-Württemberg. According to current information from the German Weather Service (DWD), the warning applies from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The warning could pose serious hazards, including lightning, falling branches and rapid flooding of roads and underpasses. Meteorologists expect gusts of wind with speeds of up to 70 km/h and rainfall amounts of around 15 liters per square meter in a short period of time. There is also the possibility of small-grain hail. These insights are provided by DWD.
The weather situation in the Main-Tauber district is currently characterized by predominantly cloud cover, the temperature is 16 degrees Celsius and the humidity is 80%. The wind is blowing at 3 km/h. The meteorological forecasts show an extreme development for the evening hours, when a significant increase in the frequency of precipitation is expected every hour. From 5 p.m. temperatures could rise to 17 degrees, accompanied by a 100% chance of rain.
Recommendations for action and dangers
Authorities advise against staying outdoors or near bodies of water during the expected thunderstorm. Free-standing objects should be secured and tents and covers secured. Caution is particularly important in road traffic. Flooded or endangered streets and underpasses should be avoided. These recommendations will also be communicated emphatically on 14-day weather forecast.
The weather forecast for the Main-Tauber district also shows that wind gusts with speeds of up to 60 km/h can be expected. These can even reach squalls near showers and in exposed locations. Securing light objects and covers is also very important here.
The role of climate change
A comprehensive look at weather events this year must also take climate change into account. Researchers from the World Weather Attribution initiative have found that extreme weather events such as thunderstorms and heavy rain will increase significantly in the future due to climate change. A study shows that the likelihood of such weather events doubles. This could also be related to the current thunderstorms in the Main-Tauber district, which are seen by many as an alarming sign and an indication of future climatic challenges. The Tagesschau highlights that climate change could play a role in the intensity of these extreme weather events.
In summary, the situation in the Main-Tauber district is serious and the population is asked to take all necessary precautions to protect themselves and those around them. The thunderstorm is expected to be most severe in the coming hours. City residents and visitors should monitor the best available local information and recommendations to stay safe.
