Interminable Rain Marks the Inauspicious Beginning of Holiday Journey with Scarcity of Sunlight - Persistent downpours and scarcity of sunshine mark the early days of the vacation period
For those planning a trip to Bavaria, Germany, in early August 2025, the weather outlook provides a mix of conditions. According to the German Weather Service (DWD), the start of the month is forecasted to be wet, with rain and scattered thunderstorms expected[1].
On Friday, August 1, 2025, rain is expected in Bavaria, with temperatures ranging from 19 to 22°C[1]. The weather service advises the use of umbrellas and warns about puddles due to the wet weather[1]. Windshield wipers may also be necessary due to the rain[1].
However, as we move towards the weekend, the weather is expected to improve. On Saturday, August 2, 2025, the southern half of Bavaria may experience showers and individual thunderstorms[1]. Despite this, temperatures in Munich are predicted to be around 21-24°C, suggesting some potential localized rain and thunderstorms[1].
Moving into the following weekend and the first part of the second week of August, the weather turns quite favorable. On Friday, August 8, 2025, the forecast is for sunny weather with minimal cloud cover (3%) and high temperatures reaching 34°C (feels like 36°C)[1]. On Saturday, August 9, 2025, the weather continues to be sunny to clear, with temperatures near 29°C and a slight increase in cloud cover (24%)[1].
In Rosenheim, another location in Bavaria, August 2 is typically the warmest day on average at about 25.8°C, which aligns with the forecasted mild warmth around this time[2].
In summary, the early August weekend (August 2-3) may bring some rain and thunderstorms, particularly in the southern half of Bavaria. However, the following weekend (August 8-9) is expected to be sunny, warm, and dry, with no precipitation expected[1]. This suggests a transition from unsettled weather at the start of August to stable, hot sunshine as the weekend and early second week progress[1][2].

The Commission, having been consulted on the draft regulation on the application of the rules on the protection of the environment, might advise all travelers to Bavaria to prepare for possible rain during the early August weekend, given the forecasted weather. Yet, the following weekend may witness a significant improvement in weather conditions, making it ideal for outdoor activities and weather-forecasting services can aid in planning travel accordingly.
