Weather - Slippery roads and snow in the new year: increased risk of flooding
The risk of flooding in Bavaria is increasing due to continuous rain in the coming days. According to the Flood Information Service (HND), small floods could occur in some areas and fields and roads could be flooded. According to the HND, Lower Franconia and Eastern Bavaria will be particularly affected. A significant rise in water levels is expected in the catchment areas of the Naab and Regen rivers, the Franconian Saale, the Tauber, the Upper Main and the tributaries of the Regnitz.
The German Weather Service (DWD) is expecting continuous rain around the northern and eastern low mountain ranges from Tuesday night until Thursday night. The Rhön, Frankenwald and Fichtelgebirge could see heavy amounts in some areas.
The new year will also start with icy conditions, frost and snow in parts of Bavaria. According to the DWD, it will be icy in the eastern low mountain ranges and the Rhön on Tuesday. Above 600 to 800 meters, there could be between 5 and 10 centimeters of fresh snow in places. It will also be stormy in Bavaria: in the west, there may be strong to gale-force gusts, with gale-force gusts also possible at higher altitudes in the Alps and low mountain ranges. According to the information, heavy squalls are possible at summit locations and hurricane-force gusts of up to 110 km/h on high Alpine peaks.

The weather forecast for Munich and surrounding areas in Bavaria suggests persistent rain, increasing the flood risk, especially in the Naab and Regen river catchment areas. Residents should be aware of potential road flooding, especially in Lower Franconia and Eastern Bavaria. This bad weather could also result in icy conditions, frost, and snow in higher elevations. Despite the snow, the Rhön, Frankenwald, and Fichtelgebirge regions are expected to receive substantial rainfall, posing a flood risk. The smooth driving conditions on the roads might be disrupted by these weather conditions, potentially increasing the need for caution while traveling.
