Forecast Warns Snowfall and Thunderstorms in Bavaria According to DWD
**Bavaria and Alpine Region Brace for Thunderstorms, No Rain or Snow Expected**
Meteorologists in Germany have issued a thunderstorm warning for parts of Bavaria, including the district of Lindau, on July 7th. The warning is initially valid until 11 a.m. on the same day, with the possibility of individual thunderstorms in the second half of the day.
According to the German Weather Service (DWD), the district of Lindau could experience heavy rain up to 20 liters per square meter per hour, strong to stormy gusts between 50 and 70 km/h, and small hail. The warning comes as heavy rain, strong winds, and small hail are expected to move from Baden-Württemberg into the Free State.
While the forecast for the next few days indicates no precipitation expected from July 7th to July 10th, the wind is expected to intensify significantly during thunderstorms. Wind speeds could reach 17-21 m/s in the evening and 15-18 m/s, which could bring windy and potentially severe storm conditions.
However, it's important to note that while thunderstorm warnings are in place, no specific warnings about hail or extreme storm events like those seen in previous years are mentioned for the upcoming days.
Regarding snowfall in the Alps, given it is early July and no precipitation is forecasted, potential snowfall in the Alps is unlikely at this time. Typically, summer temperatures in Bavaria and the Alps do not favour snowfall except at very high altitudes, and the current forecast does not indicate cold or wet conditions conducive to snow.
On the other hand, snow is expected in the Alps, with the snow line dropping to 2400 to 2200 meters overnight on Tuesday. This could potentially drop further to up to 2000 meters on Tuesday, according to DWD meteorologists.
Looking ahead, on Wednesday, July 9th, many clouds and local rain are expected, with highest temperatures of 16 to 20 degrees, and up to 22 degrees on the Lower Main. Persistent rain will set in at the Alpine foothills from Monday evening, lasting until Tuesday evening, July 8th. At the Alpine foothills, widespread 30-40 liters per square meter of rain is expected, with up to 50 liters per square meter in wind shadow areas within about 24 hours.
By Thursday, July 10th, temperatures will rise, reaching 20 to 26 degrees, with some sunny sections, but rain in the south and east.
In summary, expect dry weather with strong winds possible during thunderstorms but no rain, significant thunderstorms, or snow in Bavaria and the Alpine region for the next few days. Stay tuned for updates on the weather forecast as conditions may change.
The weather forecast suggests no rain or snow for Bavaria and the Alpine region for the next few days, with heavy rain and strong winds possible during thunderstorms. However, snow is expected in the Alps at altitudes dropping to 2000 meters on Tuesday.
