Storms that could influence Germany’s match against Portugal in the UEFA Nations League semi-final on Wednesday night are being watched by UEFA.
WHAT OCCURRED?
Despite predictions of storms that could pummel Munich, UEFA has stated that Germany’s match against Portugal in the Nations League semi-finals will still take place on Wednesday night. According to the Associated Press, the governing body “continues to monitor the weather situation closely along with the necessary local authorities.” Fans are advised to factor in additional time for their journey to the Allianz Arena.

Similar advice has been issued by the German national team’s X account, advising supporters to pack umbrellas and ponchos in case of inclement weather and to wear raincoats. The game will still go ahead despite the possibility of storms, strong winds, and perhaps hailstorms in Munich. But if the weather changes, it is unclear if that will be the case.
WERE YOU AWARE?
A “severe weather watch” for severe thunderstorms is in effect, according to Accuweather. There could be a flurry of lightning and thunder due to the predicted rain and the warm weather (Munich is above 20 degrees).
