Storm with wind gusts up to 95 km/h and hail up to 2 cm
A fast but intense thunderstorm is moving across Brno-Královo Pole. Expect falling branches, damaged skylights and hail large enough to break glass and dent car bodies.
What's happening and why
Based on the current radar loop and ICON-D2 model output, the storm core will reach your property around 14:30. Wind gusts at the leading edge will briefly exceed 90 km/h, followed by 12–18 mm of rain in 40 minutes.
Hail of 1–2 cm diameter is likely across the whole band. At that size it routinely damages garden furniture, glass roof panels and leaves visible dents on car bodies.
After the storm we expect brief pressure drops and a chance of power outages in the Královo Pole area. Plan accordingly.

What to do now vs. later
Recommendations are tailored to your property type and the equipment listed in your MeteoSafe profile.
- Close and lock all skylights — gusts over 80 km/h can tear them off.
- Park the car in the garage or under solid cover before the storm hits.
- Retract awnings and fold terrace umbrellas.
- Unplug sensitive electronics (TV, router, NAS) from the mains.
- Clear any debris from drain gutters — heavy rain is expected afterwards.
- Prepare a flashlight or power bank in case of a power outage.
- After the storm, inspect the roof, gutters and garden — photograph any damage for your insurer.
Recommended equipment
Useful items to keep at home or in the garage. Not a shopping list — just sensible prevention.
- Car cover
If you don't have a garage, a basic cover will protect the paint from hail up to 2 cm.
- Sandbags / flood barriers
Heavy rain can briefly flood basement light wells. 3–5 bags are enough.
- Power bank 10,000 mAh+
Keeps your phone and router running during an outage.
- Rechargeable LED flashlight
Safer than candles in a room with children or pets.
- Anti-shatter film on glass panels
Long-term investment: holds shards together if hail cracks the glass.
