Inclement weather to greet holidays in Munich: Onset of heatwave expected
First Real Summer Day in Munich Arrives Early
The much-anticipated first real summer day in Munich, Germany, is expected to arrive this week, according to the German Weather Service (DWD). The forecast suggests that the city will experience sunny skies and temperatures exceeding 30°C, marking a significant shift from the rainy start of the summer holidays in Bavaria.
As of now, the weather in Munich is experiencing rain showers and isolated thunderstorms, a pattern that is affecting the entire Free State of Bavaria. However, the outlook is set to change, with the DWD forecasting clear and sunny weather in the morning, followed by warm afternoons, a typical summer pattern in this region.
On Thursday, temperatures in Munich are expected to reach highs between 18 and 23 degrees. The thermometer will show values between 19 and 22 degrees on Friday, setting the stage for the anticipated summer day. According to the DWD, the first real summer day for Munich will be on Friday, August 8th, with temperatures reaching 27 degrees and sunshine.
The 10-day trend for Munich from DWD shows that from Tuesday onwards, it will continuously get warmer, with temperatures rising to summery 22 to 25 degrees. This improvement in the weather is expected to continue into the weekend, with a slightly friendlier outlook for parts of the Free State.
Despite the upcoming summery weather, the forecast for August in Munich remains dismal, with rain showers and thunderstorms predicted for the majority of the month. However, the promise of a real summer day in the near future offers a glimmer of hope for Munich residents who have been experiencing a cool and wet start to the summer holidays.
