Storm - Thunderstorms, heavy rain and sweltering heat in Bavaria

The summer remains unpredictable. Heavy heat, severe thunderstorms, heavy rain, and hail are expected by the German Weather Service (DWD) for Bavaria in the coming days. Parts of the region may experience extremely heavy rainfall in short periods, up to 50 liters of water per square meter, according to the DWD on Wednesday. The focus for unsettled weather development is in the Alpine foothills and to the north.

Similarly, Friday and the weekend will see similar conditions. A meteorologist spoke of a stormy situation and showery rain. Particularly on Saturday, it could get very hot, up to 33 degrees, especially in Lower Bavaria. Whether football fans can enjoy the Achtelfinal match between Germany and Denmark on Saturday at the public viewing in the open air is still uncertain. According to weather experts, the thunderstorms may only move over Bavaria at night.

There were reports of scattered thunderstorms in the night and on Wednesday morning. In Untrasried in Eastern Allgau, according to the Integrated Control Room, some cellars were flooded due to heavy rain. Already the evening before, in southwestern Bavaria around Mittenwald and Krün, water had entered houses and some streets were flooded.

A similar situation was reported over the border in Baden-Württemberg. As a spokeswoman for the police stated, it had rained and thundered heavily for two hours in the Ravensburg region on Wednesday morning. She did not provide precise damage information at first.
