Intense weather phenomenon - In Bavaria, the flood situation improves despite experiencing more rainfall.
Following the floods, many areas in Bavaria have seen improvements in the high water situation. The German Weather Service (DWD) has disclosed impending thunderstorms and rainfall in certain regions of the state; however, they predict the conditions will settle by the weekend. The Danube's water level decreased at almost all measuring locations overnight on Saturday, and HND anticipates it will continue to do so.
The floods caused high water levels to be an issue in Kelheim, but authorities claim the dams are stable. Similar claims are made for Straubing and Passau. Experts predict the Danube's water level in Straubing will fall below alert level 3 by evening. The city has announced that the declared state of emergency may conclude on Saturday afternoon. In Passau, the alert level 3 remains in effect.
The Upper Palatinate also sees a worsening situation: Regensburg has observed water levels dropping below alert level 2 by Friday night. The residents of a dangerously situated street were permitted to return home.
The DWD's forecast anticipates thunderstorms, rainfall, strong winds of up to 100 kilometers per hour, and hail until Monday, particularly in the south. Although on Saturday, there might be thunderstorms with significant rainfall up to 40 liters per square meter, the HND sees no cause for raising a new warning. They noted that the rainfall totals were insignificant in the area. Alert levels 1 and 2 are the only ones anticipated to rise.
