Weather - June weather: Only Baden-Württemberg wetter than Bavaria

The DWD recorded large regional differences in amounts: Over 250 liters per square meter were measured at the Alps, while in Mittelfranken and the Oberpfalz, locally under 50 liters were recorded. The monthly mean temperature was 17.4 degrees Celsius above average. However, it "was characterized by marked fluctuations in the course of the month", as the DWD reported. During the so-called sheep slaughter, the daily high temperatures only reached around 15 degrees, but at the end of the month it was up to 34 degrees warm. The sun shone for approximately 205 hours according to the DWD.

Despite the balmy weather in Munich, reaching up to 34 degrees Celsius towards the end of the month, some parts of Bavaria experienced a cooler spell during the traditional "sheep slaughter" period.
