The flood situation in Bavaria appears to be easing up significantly, with all bodies of water reporting decreasing water levels, according to the flood information service (HVZ). The HVZ spokesperson indicated that by Monday, there won't be any more flood levels anywhere in Bavaria.
The German Weather Service (DWD) predicts no rain for the weekend, starting with cloudy skies in the morning that should clear by afternoon near the Alps. The weather for Sunday will be cloudy, with periods of sunshine near the Alps and overcast conditions elsewhere. Monday will be foggy at first but clear up to a sunny day with a high of 13 degrees.
Residents should continue to monitor the flood information service (HVZ) for updates, as sudden changes in weather can impact the water levels. The HVZ and other weather agencies have been diligent in providing updates and information during this period, playing a crucial role in informing the public.
Heavy-rainfall events remain a concern for Bavaria, as they can trigger flooding. A recent study by Szymczak et al. (2025) found that summer months have a higher frequency of heavy-rainfall events, with May and September seeing many events as well. The rail network in Bavaria, like many parts of Germany, has also been impacted by heavy-rainfall events.
As the weather in Bavaria begins to warm up, the region should remain vigilant and prepared for potential heavy precipitation and associated natural hazards. The exact flood situation at the moment is not known, but constant weather monitoring is essential for safety and preparedness.
