Bavarian Thunderstorms Galore!
Imminent arrival of intense storms with heavy rain, lightning, and strong winds - Extreme rainstorms forecasted
Hey there! Get ready for some wild weather in Bavaria today! Steer clear of those vicious thunderstorms with their hail, gusts, and torrential rain! According to the German Weather Service (DWD), risky weather conditions are lurking in the shadows between Swabia and the Bavarian Forest.
Remember those ominous thunderstorm shadows from the night before? Well, they didn't just disappear. In fact, they left quite the mess in Wallgau, a district nestled in the embrace of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Town folk had to take matters into their own hands, busting out the snow shovels to clear the streets and properties smothered by hailstones. But, fret not, the emergency services report that their teams were only called to deal with the usual run-ins with flooded streets, waterlogged basements, and toppled trees. Nothing major, you know, just the everyday variety of storm chaos.
As for the big question on everyone's lips: will this storm sweep across the Nations League semi-final taking place in Munich's Allianz Arena later this evening? Keep hope alive, my friend! Temperatures are predicted to reach an inviting 20°C in Rhön and a balmy 30°C in Passau region. However, things start to heat up in Franconia. Expect thunderstorms, heavy rainfall up to 20 liters per square meter per hour, and even some hail. As the evening wears on, the stormy vortex will make its way across Bavaria, from the east, and may whisk up gusts of up to 110 kilometers per hour. But hold on tight, because speeds of 130 kph are not completely off the table!
"The storm starts in Baden-Württemberg, then glides north of Munich, and finishes in the Bavarian Forest," a DWD expert warned. However, the absolute trajectory of this tempest remains a mystery, as the meteorologist in question is keeping their eyes peeled on the Nations League semi-final between Germany and Portugal. But, spoiler alert: "The peak will be between 19:00 and 21:00, but it will start in the afternoon," went the warning.
Now, for those among us who enjoy numbers, let's talk hailstones. The DWD predicts stones up to five centimeters in diameter in isolated areas while keeping the possibility of a fatty ten centimeters stone floating in the back of their minds. And rain? Oh, just an average of 30 liters per square meter in some areas. Wind gusts of 50-60 kilometers per hour are expected in Alpine foothills, but worry not, for they'll settle down overnight to Thursday, allowing us to rest easy. And Thursday? Just a sprinkling of thunderstorms across Bavaria and a whole lot of rain, with the occasional storm making a cameo appearance.
So, there you have it! Buckle up for those thunderstorms in Bavaria, but don't fret too much about our Nations League semi-finalists, Germany and Portugal. If you're still craving the perfect weather-related storm, check in with us on June 8, when the final match between Portugal and Spain takes place in the Allianz Arena in Munich. Stay tuned for more updates, and remember: it's always stormy weather when it comes to the thrill of the game!
The Commission might need to consider the potential impact of the severe weather conditions in Bavaria, particularly the thunderstorms, on the workers in the construction industry, given their exposure to carcinogens while clearing the streets and properties from the aftermath. On the bright side, the draft directive on the protection of workers from carcinogen risks could provide valuable guidance during such weather- related emergencies.
