- Anticipated warmth persists in Bavaria, lasting until the weekend.
Sweltering temperatures above 30 degrees are predicted to leave people in Bavaria drenched in sweat until the weekend. The German Weather Service (DWD) issues a caution, particularly in the northern and eastern parts of the Free State, where severe heat stress is expected, with temperatures potentially reaching a searing 35 degrees on Thursday.
Weather experts recommend steering clear of the heat, staying hydrated, and keeping indoor environments cool. Major urban hubs like Munich and Nuremberg have published online maps highlighting refuges from the heat, such as parks, churches, and water parks, alongside water fountains.
Scores of sunny hours ahead
Anticipate large crowds in public swimming pools and lakes in the forthcoming days, just about a week before the summer break concludes: the DWD forecasts numerous sunny hours across much of Bavaria until the weekend.
For Friday and Saturday, the DWD predicts that certain parts of Bavaria will surpass the 30-degree threshold. Temperatures could peak at 33 degrees. However, respite from thunderstorms and brief showers is only expected in sporadic locations. Luckily, in the evenings, temperatures are expected to dip below 20 degrees in most regions until the weekend.
Cool havens in Nuremberg Cool sanctuaries in Munich
People looking to escape the heat might find relief in the cool havens in Nuremberg, as indoor temperatures are expected to be more manageable than the scorching outdoor temperatures. By the weekend, many residents and visitors in Bavaria will have enjoyed several days of sweltering temperatures above 30 degrees, with the relief of the weekend offering a chance to rest and recover.
