On Saturday evening there will be several public viewings in Soest and the region. Will the weather play along? The organizers are keeping an eye on the situation.
Update from Saturday, June 29, 9:53 p.m.: While the huge public viewing area in Dortmund’s Westfalenpark had to be evacuated due to the storm, the forecast for Soest looks at least a little better: According to the DWD radar, it will get wet from above in Soest at around 10:55 p.m. However, thunderstorms are not forecast for this time – as things stand.
[Erstmeldung vom Samstag, 29. Juni, 17.39 Uhr.]: Soest – Will the German national football team advance to the quarter-finals of the European Championships on Saturday evening? Many will once again be making the pilgrimage to the public viewings in Soest and the region to watch the Germany match against Denmark live. Incidentally, oracle “Julian” has a clear favorite.
At the same time, there are fears that it could be uncomfortable – and dangerous – late on Saturday evening. There is a risk of severe weather. Lucas Risse, organizer of the public viewing at the Petrikirchhof in Soest, explains to our editorial team: “We regularly check the rain radar. It is currently supposed to start around 1 a.m. By then we will hopefully have dealt with everything. We are now checking every hour and will inform you if necessary!”
The same should apply to the public viewing at the Zavuga Festival on Lake Möhne. In the slaughterhouse, there is a covered alternative if necessary. Slaughterhouse boss Michael Osterhoff recently announced that the slaughterhouse beer garden will be equipped with a larger screen for the round of 16. “And we are also very well prepared for bad weather with the hall and the pub.” There is no public viewing in the Soest town hall today. The citizen riflemen are celebrating a lavish anniversary party there.
What is the weather like at public viewing? DWD advance information is valid from the night
There is still no official severe weather warning from the German Weather Service (DWD) for Soest. However, the DWD has published advance information about severe weather.
