The flood peak in Donauwörth is expected to reach its maximum soon, as predicted by meteorologists in Bavaria. The storm that hit Ingolstadt caused a significant increase in the Isar's water level, forcing authorities to issue a warning at warning level 3. Despite the flood receding in some areas, Kelheim remains under a flood warning at level 3 due to the continuous high water levels in the Danube.

In contrast, the weather in Munich has improved, leading to a decrease in the water level at warning level 1 on the Isar. Meanwhile, in Passau, the flood situation has eased, moving the gauge at Passau-Marienbrucke down to warning level 1. Reports indicate that the flood situation is improving in New Ulm, where the water level in the Danube has fallen. However, the overall flood situation in Bavaria remains a concern, with authorities constantly monitoring and reporting on the water levels.
