Hey there! If you're a resident in Bavaria, brace yourself for some grotty weather on the horizon. Allegedly, showers and thunderstorms are slated to roll in as early as Sunday afternoon, as per the German Weather Service (DWD). Not exactly what you had in mind for the weekend, huh?
Locally, hail ranging up to three centimeters in size, strong winds, and heavy rain are potential scenarios. You might want to keep emergency services in mind, as fallen trees, flooded streets, and submerged basements have already been reported in certain areas.
The DWD issues ominous warnings of heavy thunderstorms in Lower Franconia, Upper Franconia, Middle Franconia, Swabia, Upper Palatinate, and Upper Bavaria. A representative from the Upper Franconia police presidency even mentioned "multiple incidents" during the evening. For instance, a sports hall was damaged by the storm in Trebgast, district of Kulmbach.
Police and fire departments in Lower and Middle Franconia initially claimed no major emergencies. Nonetheless, the A6 motorway experienced flooding between Neuendettelsau and Schwabach in Middle Franconia, but it was swiftly reopened. The Upper Palatinate, Upper Bavaria, and Swabia were spared any weather-related incidents, as per the responsible police presidencies. There were no recorded injuries.
Skip the ice cream for the first part of the week: it's going to be cloudy and drizzly. The DWD predicts showers and thunderstorms to grace us yet again. During the afternoon in Lower Franconia, the sun might appear briefly. Highs will hover around 19 to 24 degrees.
Don't let the sunny start to Tuesday fool you: keep your umbrella handy, as showers and individual thunderstorms are bound to arrive. By Wednesday, sunny skies in Lower Franconia will give way to wide-spread showers and thunderstorms, with heavy thunderstorms lingering in the south. The mercury will hit 20 to 27 degrees.
