Remains the persisting warmth of summer, even amidst the initial celebration of the holiday season
Bavaria Braces for a Typical Central European Summer
The German Weather Service (DWD) has attributed the current cool and rainy weather in Bavaria to a low-pressure area over Scandinavia. According to Dirk Mewes, a meteorologist at DWD, this weather pattern is expected to persist, with no rapid change in the near future.
Despite the ongoing rainy conditions, there's some good news for the last third of August. Bavaria is expected to experience drier and more summer-like days, with temperatures just below 20 degrees. However, it's important to note that this doesn't indicate a complete absence of rain or thunderstorms.
Mewes cautions that temperatures above 25 degrees might be a small improvement. In the context of the predicted weather, temperatures of 25 degrees are considered a summer's day. On the other hand, 30 degrees is considered a hot day. Mewes predicts temperatures could reach up to 27 degrees.
The weather in Bavaria is expected to remain humid. Despite the cooler temperatures, the humidity is likely to persist, making it feel a bit sticky.
The current weather pattern aligns with typical Central European summer meteorology. Early August often experiences sporadic summer rainfall and occasional thunderstorms. By contrast, late August tends to be dominated by high-pressure systems with stable, dry, and hot weather. This explains why travelers and locals often experience the hottest and driest Central European summer weather in Bavaria during the last third of August rather than the very beginning of the month.
Mewes refers to the upcoming weather as a typical Central European summer. He advises people to take the sun as it comes and make the best of it, as rain or thunderstorms are expected from time to time.
The summer holidays in Bavaria have started on Friday. Despite the cooler temperatures, the region is expected to enjoy a real summer feeling with sunshine and heat towards the end of August. However, Mewes reminds everyone that the high over Eastern Europe is preventing the weather situation from changing quickly, so it's essential to be prepared for unexpected weather changes.
