Strong storms are threatening: thunderstorms and continuous rain in southern Germany!

The sky over Bavaria is becoming increasingly cloudy and the weather forecasts bring serious news for the region. The German Weather Service (DWD) issued an official level 2 warning of strong thunderstorms in the Augsburg area early on Monday afternoon. This warning applies between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. Dark clouds are on the agenda, accompanied by stormy gusts that can reach speeds of up to 70 km/h. The districts affected by this warning include Donau-Ries, Dillingen a.d. Danube and Augsburg itself, to name just a few. Particularly careful drivers should be prepared for aquaplaning, as flooding of streets and underpasses cannot be ruled out. Extreme caution is required here, even if you are traveling on foot. The exact details of the warning can be found at Mainpost.

But that's not all: the DWD also warns of continuous rain in the south of Bavaria, which is expected to begin at 6 p.m. this evening. Rainfall amounts of 30 to 40 liters per square meter are expected here in the next 22 hours, and even up to 50 liters in congested areas. This intense rainfall could also cause waterways to swell and lead to further flooding. The affected districts extend from Lindau (Lake Constance) via Garmisch-Partenkirchen to Berchtesgadener Land. This evening, prolonged rainfall is also expected in the Alps, before the weather situation could brighten again on Tuesday around 4 p.m., it is reported DWD.
