Heavy rain and thunderstorms: Bavaria is forecasting unpleasant weather!
At the moment there is hardly any reason to be happy in Bavaria, because the weather is showing its unpleasant side. This Saturday, September 29, 2025, gusts, thunderstorms and heavy rain will characterize the weather situation in most parts of the Free State. How op online reported, the pleasant weather of the last few weeks is quickly losing ground, because a low altitude over Switzerland is sending moist, cool air to Bavaria. Will that put a damper on the planned excursions or the football weekend?
A lower risk of thunderstorms with heavy rain can be expected in southern regions, especially south of the Danube, as early as Saturday afternoon. Up to 20 liters per square meter could fall here. Strong gusts of wind with speeds of up to 60 km/h are also possible, while in the edge of the Alps there is a risk of thunderstorms and further rain overnight - up to 20 liters per square meter could be added here.
Expected development
A look at the coming days shows that this weather situation will not be over any time soon. On Monday September 29th the weather will continue to be cloudy and showery as the German Weather Service predicted. In some areas, longer periods of rain are to be expected and in the high mountains, fresh snow amounts of up to 15 cm are possible. It can snow, especially in the Alps above 2000 m, which is something that hikers and winter sports enthusiasts should take into account.
The temperatures range between 14 and 19 degrees, with some fog forming at night and in the early morning hours. Visibility could be less than 150 meters, especially in the Spessart and Swabia. These conditions make the weather not only uncomfortable but also challenging.
A look into the future
How will the weather in Bavaria develop in the future? A current study by the Regional Climate Office of the German Weather Service, which focuses on the Danube and Neckar catchment areas, shows that extreme precipitation events are increasing in frequency in southern Germany. This means that such extreme weather events can be expected every 25 to 30 years in the future, compared to previous periods when similar events only occurred every 42 years. This alarming data was recently highlighted in an article BR.de published.
Additional causes for this alarming development are climate change and the increasing CO₂ concentration in the air, which significantly influence the amount of precipitation. Experts warn of the need to better adapt to these extreme weather events, whether through private flood protection measures or structural prevention, which should be promoted by government authorities.
Given this weather situation and the risks associated with it, it is time to have a good hand for your own safety. Around 50 percent of households in Germany are only insured against heavy rain, floods or floods - compulsory insurance against natural hazards is currently being discussed politically.
