Violent thunderstorms and squalls: weather warning for Bavaria today!

The weather in Bavaria today is restless and changeable. The German Weather Service (DWD) forecasts rain, thunderstorms and strong winds, which will come from the northwest, especially in the afternoon. Gusts of up to 55 km/h are already possible in many regions and up to 85 km/h at higher altitudes. The DWD's initial forecast suggests that brightening is not expected until Friday at the earliest, which could affect the plans of local people. According to the latest information from [Augsburger Allgemeine](https://www.augsburger- Allgemeine.de/bayern/unwetter-in-bayern-hier-drohen-heute-heftige-gewitter-und-stuerme-16-07-110444177), there is also a threat of thunderstorms with harmful side effects.

The districts and cities in which warning level 2 applies are particularly affected. These include districts such as Schwandorf, Cham and Passau. This warning level indicates that dangerous weather conditions with lightning strikes, flying objects and even flooding must be expected. Anyone staying in these areas should exercise caution and keep an eye on current weather warnings.

Current warnings and their meaning

There are currently no severe weather warnings of the highest level, but these should not give the impression that the situation is harmless. The weather is unstable, and Bayerische Rundfunk reports that heavy rain and squalls are particularly dangerous. People are also urged to exercise caution. An overview map from Unwetter Zentrale shows the types of danger such as storms/hurricanes, thunderstorms and heavy rain that this weather situation brings with it.

In various regions, such as the Allgäu and the Bavarian Alps, the weather situation could change quickly. There is a danger from falling branches and flying objects, particularly at higher altitudes. This makes it necessary to constantly monitor the circumstances. Background information on the different warning levels can be found on the DWD and flood intelligence services websites.

The forecast weather conditions could also impact travel plans and events. It is therefore important to always stay informed and, if necessary, turn to alternatives. Whether for gardening, shopping or the planned outdoor event - with a little patience for the weather, Friday could bring more sunny moments. Stay alert and well prepared for what could come!
