Get ready, Bavaria residents! It's time to brace for some rollercoaster weather this weekend. The German Weather Service (DWD) has issued a thunderstorm warning, with showers expected to sweep in as early as Sunday afternoon. So, grab your raincoats, umbrellas, and be aware, it could get stormy!
Thunderstorms have been a common occurrence in Germany, especially Bavaria during June[5]. These storms might pack a punch as hail up to 3 centimeters in size and strong winds are predicted[4]. Emergency services, including police and fire departments, are on high alert to respond swiftly to any emergency situations[4].
In the administrative districts of Lower Franconia, Upper Franconia, Middle Franconia, Swabia, Upper Palatinate, and Upper Bavaria, the weather service has warned of heavy thunderstorms[1]. In the evening of Sunday, the Upper Franconia police presidency reported several deployments due to fallen trees, flooded streets, and basements[1]. The A6 highway was temporarily flooded in Middle Franconia but has since reopened[1].
Unfortunately, the start of the week doesn't promise to be sunny. Cloudy skies, along with showers and thunderstorms, are predicted again[1]. However, Lower Franconia might see a few rays of sunshine in the afternoon. Temperatures will hover between 19 and 24 degrees Celsius[1].
As we move into Tuesday, the sun may rise with a hopeful smile, but don't be fooled! Rain and individual thunderstorms are expected to move quickly, even in Lower Franconia[1]. Wednesday might start sunny, but strong cloud cover is likely to spread from Lower Franconia throughout the day. Showery conditions with the potential for severe thunderstorms in the south can be expected[1]. Highs will range between 20 and 27 degrees Celsius[1].
Stay aware, Bavaria! It's going to be a wet and wild week. Keep an eye on the weather updates and heed local safety guidelines during severe weather events[4]. Don't forget to have emergency contact information readily available in case help is needed. After all, safety first!
