Potential Danger from Severe Thunderstorm in Munich: German Weather Service Warns of Life-Endangering Lightning Strikes
Munich, Germany, is preparing for a bout of rain and thunderstorms expected around mid-July 2025, according to the latest weather forecasts. Specifically, on July 16, there is a forecast for rain and thunderstorms, including the possibility of heavy showers locally, which might increase water levels on roads and cause flash floods.
The broader 30-day perspective for July in Munich indicates a predominance of rainy days, with temperatures generally ranging between 14°C and 31°C. From around July 14 to July 17, the weather includes light rain and temperatures between about 22°C and 31°C, with rain mostly falling on Saturday night (July 14).
The current weather pattern is a result of a low pressure area near the British Isles, directing moist and initially warm air towards Bavaria. This influx of humidity is expected to bring thunderstorms to Munich in the evening.
Despite the impending storms, there is a silver lining on the horizon. After a week of rain and cool temperatures, things started looking up over the weekend, with the nicest day being Sunday (13th July), when temperatures reached nearly 27°C and the sun shone most of the day.
