Humberto now downgraded
Hurricane Humberto is now longer a hurricane: Humberto has just been downgraded to a tropical storm. But this storm is expected to live for a long time still.
Snow on the “Zugspitze”
40cm at -5°C:
The highest mountain Germanys, that is located on the border between Germany and Austria, is already in deepest winter. In the past night there was strong snowfall there. This morning the snow on the mountain was already 40cm deep, the thermometer read -5°C. With those measurements the Winter came to the 2,962 m high mountain. Already yesterday the mountain was powdered white already, but with 5cm the snow layer was still relatively thin. Today it still snowed, so that the 50cm might be topped. The melting glacier on the Zugspitze is profiting from this sudden winter: the glaciers melting period is now most likely stopped for this year. It snowed today until 15:30 local time.
First warnings of Storm in Germany given to public
The first weather services and/or websites have now started giving out information and early-warnings about the storm that will strike especially northern Germany and also Great Britain at the beginning of next week. While M.I.L.K. was by far faster, now the well known website WetterOnline published the first warnings; even with a video. Usually videos are just used on WetterOnline if there is an special case. The link to the video you can find below.
