Severe Weather Strikes Germany and Britain

Germany and Britain are experiencing severe weather conditions, with storms bringing strong winds, rain, and snow. In Germany, a storm is sweeping across the country, causing gusts up to 75 km/h. The German Weather Service (DWD) has issued warnings for several regions, highlighting the risk of flooding and unpleasant weather in areas like Bavaria, Hesse, and the High Black Forest. Snow and ice are expected, particularly in higher elevations, with a low-pressure system from Italy affecting conditions.

Meanwhile, the British Isles are being battered by Storm Darragh, which has brought wind speeds of up to 150 km/h. The Met Office has issued a red weather warning, urging nearly three million people in Wales to remain indoors due to life-threatening conditions. The storm has caused significant disruptions, including power outages, blocked roads, and canceled transport services. While both countries face challenging weather, the prospects for a picturesque winter remain bleak, with mild temperatures and rain likely to dominate the coming weeks.
