Bavaria Braces for Continued Hot Weather and Potential Storms
Bavaria, including Munich and the Alps, is set to experience warm to hot summer weather with mostly dry conditions until around August 22. The German Weather Service (DWD) predicts temperatures ranging from about 17 to 34 degrees Celsius during this period [1][3].
Starting from mid-week (August 16-20), there is an increased risk of thunderstorms and heavy showers. This risk is particularly high in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, due to the clash of cooler air from Scandinavia with hot, humid southern air. This could lead to severe storms and localized flooding in southern Germany, particularly near the Alps [2][3].
On Monday, Bavaria is expected to start the day with almost cloudless skies, according to the DWD. Temperatures will reach up to 27 to 31 degrees [1]. On Tuesday, temperatures are forecasted to rise further, with expectations of up to 28 to 34 degrees. The DWD has also announced that temperatures will continue to rise in Bavaria [1].
Wednesday in Bavaria is expected to be sunny and hot, with maximum temperatures of 31 to 36 degrees. In Munich, the weather is expected to be similar [1]. After a clear night, Wednesday starts sunny and hot, with temperatures peaking at 31 to 36 degrees [1].
However, in the Alps and Bavarian Forest, the weather may be a bit shadier in the afternoon on Monday compared to the rest of Bavaria. On Tuesday afternoon, there is a chance of showers and thunderstorms in the Alps [1].
Given the sunny weather, sun protection is advised. Drinking enough water is also recommended due to the high temperatures [1].
This forecast is based on the latest available German Weather Service (DWD) supported European weather model predictions and updates as of August 15-16, 2025 [1][3]. The DWD has also reported that Monday's weather in Bavaria will be windy [1].
In summary, until about August 22, Bavaria (including Munich and the Alps) will mostly experience dry, warm to hot weather with temperatures ranging from 17 to 34 degrees Celsius. From mid-week (August 16-20), there is a higher risk of thunderstorms and heavy showers, potentially leading to severe weather. After August 22, there may be a slight cooling trend and some unstable weather with showers possible [1][3]. Vigilance for storms around midweek is advised [1][3].
- Despite the expected hot and sunny weather in Bavaria until August 22, there is a heightened risk of thunderstorms and heavy showers from mid-week, which may be associated with the clash of cooler air from Scandinavia with hot, humid southern air, leading to potential severe weather conditions.
- As the Commission adopts implementing acts detailing the rules for applying this Regulation, weather forecasting during the period, particularly regarding thunderstorms, should be closely monitored for Bavaria, due to the increased risk of severe storms and localized flooding in the region.
