Severe thunderstorms forecasted for the area tomorrow - Severe storms with lightning and heavy rain imminent
Get ready for some stormy weather! Severe thunderstorms are anticipated to hit Bavaria today, bringing hail, gusts, and heavy rain, especially in the northwestern regions. Here's a breakdown of what to expect.
Yesterday, there were isolated thunderstorms throughout the night, with Swabia and Bavarian Forest bearing the brunt of the storm. Wallgau (Garmisch-Partenkirchen district) saw residents clearing streets and properties with snow shovels due to heavy hail, though no major incidents or damage were reported.
As for today, temperatures will reach 20°C in the Rhön and 30°C in the Passau region. The day will start with thunderstorms and heavy rain in Franconia, followed by gusty winds of up to 110 km/h as the storm moves eastward from Baden-Württemberg across Munich, ending in the Bavarian Forest.
According to experts, the peak of the storm is between 7-9 PM, though it's likely to start in the afternoon. Hailstones of up to 5 cm in diameter have been reported as a potential risk, and there's even a small possibility of hail reaching 10 cm in isolated areas. Localized heavy rain could reach up to 30 liters per square meter.
To put this looming weather event in context, keep in mind that, on June 4th, a thunderstorm delayed the Nations League semi-final between Germany and Portugal in Munich by 10 minutes. With similar weather conditions expected, it's essential to be prepared and stay informed.
Stay safe out there, colleagues! Make sure you have contingency plans for any potential outdoor events and be mindful of your safety during this thunderstorm. Keep an eye on local forecasts for updates, as conditions can change quickly.
