Thunderstorm warning: Munich is preparing for severe storms!
On Monday evening, September 15, 2025, severe thunderstorms hit Bavaria, and Munich was not spared either. Loud tz.de The German Weather Service (DWD) was quickly there to warn of the approaching storms. These thunderstorms not only brought heavy rain, but also squalls and hail. Expected rainfall amounts were between 15 and 30 liters per square meter per hour, while wind speeds of up to 70 km/h caused additional discomfort.
The DWD warning particularly highlighted the dangers of lightning strikes, falling branches and flying objects. Drivers have been urged to drive particularly carefully to avoid potential dangers such as flooding and aquaplaning. The storm front that moved from Augsburg to Munich posed a serious threat.
