Short summary
Derechos are widespread, convectively induced severe wind events. A climatology of derechos in Germany is presented. It shows that derechos are not uncommon across the country.

We present characteristics of both derecho types that can help forecasters to estimate the potential derecho threat in a given weather situation.
