Storm warning
Between May and Sept. there is a storm warning service at the lake.
yellow-white 30 flashes a minute: means a wind as strong as 40-60 km/h
red-white 60 flashes a minute: means stronger than 60km/h wind
Yellow-white sign means that the little ships and windsurfs can only sail offshore, but if the sign turns to red they must withdraw into the landing place.
