Responsible for increased summer droughts and winter floods, climate change does not spare the Grand Duchy.
Authorities are keeping a watchful eye on the Sûre, Alzette, Chiers and Syre rivers this Sunday. According to weather services, up to 30 liters per square meter will pour down on Luxembourg within 12 hours. Drivers beware: aquaplaning on motorways is not to be underestimated.
The first images of overflowing waterways have already reached us. The following pictures were taken near Esch-sur-Sûre:
Heavy gusts of wind of up to 80km/h are also likely so forest and park walks should best be avoided for your own safety.
While we wait for further information, we recommend to follow potential updates at www.inondations.lu.
The Ardennes X-trail has also been cancelled due to the weather conditions. Participants will be refunded.
