- Following the heat, looming danger of thunderstorm-triggered wildfires in Franconia
On Sunday, sunlight is predicted to dominate the day with temperatures reaching 32°C, although there's a possibility of thunderstorms in the southern region of Bavaria. The German Meteorological Service issues a warning for Franconia, emphasizing a significant wildfire risk. They advise against straying from main roads and trails in forested areas.
Starting in the afternoon, there's a modest chance of solitary thunderstorms in the south, with a slightly elevated risk in the Alps. Certain areas might encounter intense rain, small hailstones, and winds peaking at 70 km/h.
During the transition to Monday night, temperatures are projected to fall between 13 to 18°C. The western part of the region could see scattered showers and early-evening thunderstorms.
Given the warning issued by the German Meteorological Service, the risk of forest fires due to a wildfire increases significantly in Franconia. Straying from main roads and trails in forested areas should be avoided during the forecasted thunderstorms, as they could potentially spark forest fires.
