Storm, Wind and Weather Chaos: How to Protect Your Home in Berlin

When the wind picks up in Berlin, it can turn calm streets into swirling chaos. The Berlin hourly weather now shows stronger gusts and sudden temperature drops — a sure sign of storm season. Here’s how to prepare your home, balcony, and family before the next big gust hits.

1. Check the Latest Forecast First

Before doing anything else, open checkwetter.de for the latest Berlin forecast. Hourly updates show when winds peak — often between 3 a.m. and 9 a.m. — and when they calm again. That timing helps you plan when to close windows or move plants indoors.

2. Secure Your Balcony and Garden

Balconies in higher floors face stronger winds. Use ropes or weights to anchor items that can’t be moved.

3. Windows and Doors: Simple But Essential

Check seals and hinges before a storm. Loose windows can rattle or break when the pressure changes. Keep blinds or shutters closed during heavy wind — it adds a small layer of protection and prevents glass from shattering inward.

4. Protect Inside Spaces

If you live on upper floors, avoid leaving windows tilted open at night. The Berlin hourly weather often shows gust peaks while you sleep. Keep curtains closed and fragile items away from sills. A rolled towel at the base of a drafty window helps reduce cold air.

5. Power and Internet Outages

Strong storms can cause short power cuts, especially in older buildings. Keep a flashlight or power bank charged. Unplug sensitive electronics if you notice flickering lights.

Did you know? In recent years, Berlin has experienced an average of 12 storm-level wind events per year — most between November and March.

6. Car Owners: Stay Alert

7. Community & Neighbors

In shared buildings, check that hallways and emergency exits stay clear. A friendly reminder to neighbors about loose balcony items can prevent damage — or a flying plant pot!
