Bavaria in the storm maelstrom: heavy rain and hail bring chaos!
In Bavaria today the outlook is dominated by heavy thunderstorms and cooling temperatures. A depression that has settled over the region is causing persistent rain and thunderstorms, some of which cool down the hot summer air. At the moment, level two of a total of four warning levels still applies in some parts of the country, especially in Hof, Wunsiedel, Bayreuth and other districts. However, the severe weather warnings have already been lifted near Deggendorf, but concerns about possible further thunderstorms remain, as merkur.de reports.
The storm front is moving from Franconia to the southeast and not only brings huge amounts of rain of up to 30 liters per square meter, but also hail with a diameter of up to 2 centimeters. In Deggendorf there was already damage from fallen trees that damaged several vehicles, but fortunately no injuries were reported. Drivers must also expect traffic disruptions due to flooding.
