Bavaria Braces for Warm Weather and Potential Thunderstorms
Following several rainy days, Bavaria can anticipate warmer temperatures and sunshine later this week, said a meteorologist from the German Weather Service (DWD). By Friday, temperatures are expected to range between 21 and 28 degrees, with the north and east of the Free State experiencing cloudy mornings that clear up eventually.
The weather is set to peak on Saturday, with temperatures forecasted to rise to at least 25 degrees across Bavaria. Predictions suggest thermometers could reach up to 30 degrees. With the increase in temperatures, the risk of showers and thunderstorms also rises, particularly in the midlands on Saturday.
Following the showers and thunderstorms, which are expected to blanket the entire Free State overnight or by Sunday, temperatures will remain warm, ranging from 23 to 29 degrees. In areas near thunderstorms, there could be strong gusts of wind.
For travelers, the ADAC forecasts heavy traffic and congestion towards the end of the long weekend. This congestion is expected to begin in the afternoon and peak in the evening, with the Munich metropolitan area, including the A9 to Berlin and the A95 to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, experiencing heavy traffic. The Tauern, Fernpass, Brenner, Rheintal, and Gotthard routes are also expected to be busy.
During the spring in Bavaria, temperatures typically range from 10°C to 20°C (50°F to 68°F). Despite the relative wetness of the season, it's advisable to pack for both sunny and rainy conditions. Weather conditions can vary significantly depending on the region within Bavaria, with mountainous areas like Garmisch-Partenkirchen generally cooler than the rest of the region.
Weekends can be busy, especially on major roads and tourist routes. It's wise to check for traffic updates before traveling, as temporary road closures due to maintenance or flooding may occur. The city of Munich hosts various events throughout the year, which can impact traffic and weather conditions. Always check local weather forecasts and traffic advisories for specific areas you plan to visit.
The Commission has been consulted on the draft budget for Bavaria, taking into account the potential increase in expenses due to the upcoming warm weather and potential thunderstorms forecasted by the weather-forecasting teams. On Saturday, when temperatures are predicted to peak, both tourists and locals may face challenges due to the possible showers and thunderstorms, as well as heavy traffic on major roads and tourist routes.
