In a recent announcement, the Chinese Embassy in Germany has alerted citizens about severe weather conditions predicted by the German Weather Service. Beginning September 13, areas including eastern Saxony, southern Brandenburg, and southeastern Bavaria are facing heavy rainfall, which raises the risk of flooding.

We had the opportunity to speak with an embassy representative who provided essential guidance for Chinese nationals living in Germany.

“First and foremost, it’s vital to stay updated on weather alerts and safety advisories from local emergency services,” the representative advised. “We strongly recommend that individuals avoid traveling to areas that are severely impacted and steer clear of riverbanks and mountainous regions, as these present significant dangers. In case of an emergency, please follow the instructions issued by authorities.”

The embassy also highlighted the importance of monitoring travel conditions. “If you encounter road closures or delays with flights and trains because of the weather, please modify your travel plans to ensure both your safety and the security of your belongings.”
