Storm warning in Bavaria: There is a risk of continuous rain and strong gusts!
After a summer weekend with temperatures over 30 degrees, the change in the weather in Bavaria brings fresh wind and wet days. A strong low pressure area is currently causing noticeable cooling, while stormy winds, sometimes with gusts of up to 80 km/h, are moving through the low mountain ranges. [24rhein] reports on official warnings from the German Weather Service (DWD), which warn of stormy conditions and heavy rain in several districts.
From Tuesday evening to Wednesday morning there is a warning of wind gusts of up to 60 km/h, especially in exposed locations in the Franconian Alb and in the eastern low mountain ranges. The districts of Passau, Freyung-Grafenau, and Straubing-Bogen, to name just a few, are particularly affected. The weather situation will continue to develop overnight and on Wednesday, with thunderstorms with heavy rain and gusts of up to 60 km/h expected. Rainfall amounts could locally reach up to 20 l/sqm.
Constant rain and risk of flooding
In the coming days, citizens in Lower Franconia and western Franconia must expect heavy rainfall. Heavy, continuous rain is expected from Wednesday night to Thursday morning, with rainfall amounts between 50 and 80 l/sqm. In some regions, up to 100 l/sqm could even fall, bringing with it the risk of flooding of streets, underpasses and basements. [br.de] provides important recommendations for action, which can be viewed on the DWD website.
The warnings apply in particular to the Lower Franconia administrative district and the Miltenberg district, where flooding, aquaplaning and possible landslides are also to be feared. The weather situation is characterized by moist Mediterranean air that meets the cool Atlantic air and brings corresponding precipitation to Bavaria. [wetterfähren.de] emphasizes that thunderstorm activity could decrease in the evening in protected areas, but thunderstorm turbulence is still to be expected near the Alps.
Temperatures and outlook
The temperatures for Wednesday are rather cool and are between 11 and 16 degrees. On Thursday night it will remain mostly cloudy with further rainfall. Thursday itself will continue to bring dense clouds, while maximum temperatures will fluctuate between 9 degrees in the Fichtelgebirge and up to 15 degrees on the lower Danube. Even on Friday the weather situation remains unstable, with further rain and temperatures between 12 and 18 degrees.
With a cool head and the right preparation, the residents of Bavaria can cope with the uncomfortable start of autumn. Paying attention to current weather warnings is essential to prevent unpleasant surprises. Stay safe and informed!
