Damage was expected across most of the country, excluding Lapland, with the most severe impacts in Pohjanmaa, Pirkanmaa, and Central Finland .

In Germany, stormy gusts and rain swept through northern regions, while southern areas faced unstable conditions with isolated thunderstorms. Temperatures dropped as the system moved in, with winds reaching fresh breeze levels of 5 Beaufort in some areas . Southern France also braced for severe weather, with Météo-France issuing orange alerts for the Gard and Hérault departments, warning of violent thunderstorms, hail, and potential tornadoes .
