Say goodbye to blue skies and say hello to rain and storms this Pentecost weekend, according to the German Weather Service (DWD).
With clouds covering the sky, showers will plague southern regions and Franconia over the weekend. There's even a risk of thunderstorms with heavy rain of up to 15 liters per square meter, fierce winds, and hailstones.
The wind will mainly come from the south-southwest, leaving temperatures ranging from 17 to 22 degrees Celsius.
Weather Outlook for Munich and Bavaria: Expect Rain, Thunder, and Wind on Pentecost Monday
Some improvement can be expected on Pentecost Monday, but it won't be much. Sunny breaks will appear from time to time, but clouds will prevail, especially in the afternoon and in areas north of the Danube.
Rain may yet make an appearance at the northern mid-mountain ranges.
But temperatures should remain around the same, with highs of 16 to 22 degrees Celsius expected. A moderate wind from the west will blow, but it could be gusty in Upper Franconia.
