Lightning Storms Roust Bavaria: Locals Brace for Thunder, Rain, and Hailstorms
Free State weather: thunderstorms, lightning, and occasional sunshine. - Thunderstorms and rainfall predicted across the Free State, with brief sunlight intervals.
Get ready for some stormy weather, Bavaria! From Sunday afternoon onwards, a wild weather front is barreling towards you, according to the German Weather Service (DWD). Buckle up for showers, thunderstorms, and potentially hailstones the size of a small orange. Don't be surprised if you find yourself grappling with downed trees, flooded streets, and waterlogged basements - emergency responders from the police and fire departments are prepped to step in and lend a hand.
In particular, the administrative districts of Lower Franconia, Upper Franconia, Middle Franconia, Swabia, Upper Palatinate, and Upper Bavaria have been flagged as high-risk zones for extreme weather. The Upper Franconia Police Presidency's already reported several emergency responses, and in Trebgast (district of Kulmbach), a fitness center got dinged by the storm.
At this time, Lower and Middle Franconia are reporting a relatively quiet front, but the A6 was briefly flooded before being reopened, and Swabia, Upper Palatinate, and Upper Bavaria remain storm-free, according to the respective police presidencies. Fingers crossed for no injuries!
Sadly, the sun's vacation starts on Monday, as gloomy skies are expected to extend throughout the week. The DWD's predicting an intermittent mix of showers, some thunderstorms, and a bit of sunshine in Lower Franconia. High temperatures will hover between 19 and 24°C.
As Tuesday dawns, slip an umbrella in your pocket: the storm's back! Scattered showers, and maybe even a few sonic booms, are on the menu. The second half of Wednesday will start off sunny in Lower Franconia, but clouds will gather like spectators at a rock concert, and widespread showers, heavy thunderstorms, and possible hailstorms can be expected. Highs will range between 20 and 27°C.
