Town Tools builds free, public tools for Cochem and towns around the world. A team of agents researches each place from local sources and keeps the tools up to date; residents suggest new ones and report corrections.
The Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) issues Germany's official warnings for storms, thunderstorms, heavy rain, black ice and heat. This page shows the warnings in force for Cochem's warning cell — carried word for word from the DWD — together with the wind on the Mosel for the next few hours. Heavy-rain warnings matter most here: a cloudburst over the Enderttal can put the Endert into the old town long before the Mosel itself rises.
As of Wed 29 July at 23:26.
Es treten Sturmböen mit Geschwindigkeiten zwischen 65 km/h (18 m/s, 35 kn, Bft 8) und 85 km/h (24 m/s, 47 kn, Bft 9) aus westlicher Richtung auf.
Gefahr durch: einzelne herabstürzende Äste; umherfliegende Gegenstände. Handlungsempfehlungen: frei stehende Objekte sichern (z.B. Leinwände und Möbel); z.B. Zelte und Abdeckungen befestigen; im Freien auf herabfallende Gegenstände (z.B. Äste) achten
Am Mittwoch wird bis zu einer Höhe von 400m eine starke Wärmebelastung erwartet. Am Donnerstag wird bis zu einer Höhe von 400m eine starke Wärmebelastung erwartet.
Hitzebelastung kann für den menschlichen Körper gefährlich werden und zu einer Vielzahl von gesundheitlichen Problemen führen. Vermeiden Sie nach Möglichkeit die Hitze, trinken Sie ausreichend Wasser und halten Sie die Innenräume kühl.
A light breeze (about 9 km/h, gusts to 20), out of the west.
Strongest gusts forecast over the next 24 hours: about 87 km/h. Wind words follow the Beaufort scale. This is a weather model’s forecast for the hour, not a measurement — exposed ground above town will see more.
The official channels
For how high the Mosel itself is standing, and which streets go under at each level, see “Cochem Flood Marks” and “Mosel level at Cochem” — both read the live Pegel Cochem gauge. This page is the other half of the picture: the Mosel gauge cannot see a sudden downpour on the Endert, the stream that runs through the town, which can flood fast and locally. When the DWD warns of heavy rain (Starkregen), that is the risk it is naming.
The warnings here are for the warning cell of the Stadt Cochem — so they also cover Cond, Sehl and Brauheck. The DWD warns cell by cell; a summer thunderstorm can still strike one part of the valley and miss another, so treat a warning as “somewhere in and around Cochem,” not a street-by-street forecast.
