After a brief interruption due to the weather, the European Championship fan zone in Leipzig is open again. It could still rain later, but the worst is over, a spokeswoman for the fan zone on Leipzig's Augustusplatz said on Tuesday in response to an inquiry. The fan zone had to close temporarily due to a forecast thunderstorm. The dark clouds with local showers had passed.

The match between Portugal and the Czech Republic kicks off in Leipzig this evening (21:00). Several tens of thousands of people had recently gathered in the fan zone in the city center.

The German Weather Service warned of severe thunderstorms with hail and heavy squalls for Saxony in the early evening. However, it was not initially clear exactly when the storm would reach Saxony and whether it would also hit Leipzig.

In Berlin, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Dortmund and Gelsenkirchen, public fan and public viewing areas were closed on Tuesday due to possible storms.
