Rainy weather in Munich, yet August forecast presents a glimmer of hope
Munich and the surrounding region of Bavaria are experiencing a period of changeable weather, with a mix of sunshine, patchy rain, and occasional thunderstorms. This dynamic climate, influenced by seasonal and alpine effects, is typical of the warm summer months in this region.
Early August (1st to 9th): The first week of August brings patchy rain and thunderstorms, with temperatures hovering around 18°C (65°F) in the evenings. By August 9th, temperatures rise slightly to highs near 23°C (74°F) with continued chances of patchy rain in the afternoons and evenings. Night and morning conditions involve mist and cloudiness with lows around 16°C (60°F).
General August pattern: Temperatures typically fluctuate between 14°C and 24°C (57°F to 75°F), with a mixture of warm, humid days and brief, intense rain showers, including thunderstorms. This pattern reflects Munich’s unpredictable weather, characterised by warm summers punctuated by rainstorms.
Short-term forecast around July 30 to August 5: Maximum daily temperatures remain around 19-20°C, with low chances of precipitation (mostly below 10-15%) and brisk winds from west to northwest at around 6-10 mph. Humidity declines slightly during the day, and the UV index peaks midday at moderate levels (up to 7).
Persistent rain is expected until the late afternoon, with an additional 10 to 30 liters per square meter possible. This excessive rainfall has resulted in flooding in Munich, with the Isar river exceeding the alert level 1 and flooding its banks. Paths in the city are currently closed due to the flooding.
Meteorologists see only a chance of some sunshine on Thursday and Friday mornings in Munich. For the coming days, temperatures in Bavaria will not exceed 24°C, and the region will continue to experience mostly cloudy skies and rain showers.
The unsettled weather continues into the second half of the week and through the weekend. However, August could potentially bring a turnaround in Munich's weather, with summer-like temperatures of 25°C even possible by mid-week.
Residents and visitors should prepare for both warm, sunny intervals and sudden rain or thunderstorms across the coming weeks. Appropriate gear such as rain jackets, waterproof shoes, and umbrellas are needed in Munich.
