DWD predictions - Torrential rainfall occurring in the Free State region.

Downpours, drizzles, and more - the German Weather Service (DWD) predicts a week of wet weather in Bavaria. From Friday to Sunday, significant rainfall is expected, with amounts ranging from 50 to 90 liters per square meter. Some locations might even see up to 150 liters of rain per square meter. The DWD issued a preliminary warning for these conditions.

The Bavarian Flood Information Service (HND) reported slight flooding along the Schwarzach River near Warnbach (Schwandorf district). At the moment, the water hasn't overrun banks, but the HND forecasts a growing risk for water overflow starting Friday. Unfortunately, the potential flood heights can't be predicted accurately. The police haven't reported any damage or casualties.

Thursday's weather, according to the DWD, will be characterized by heavy rain, isolated thunderstorms, powerful gusts, and small hail. Clouds will dominate the skies on Friday as a continuous and stronger rain arrives from the south. Northern parts of Bavaria will follow suit, with showers and the occasional thunderstorm.

The DWD predicts a widespread, stormy Saturday, with temperatures reaching between 13 to 18 degrees. The southern regions might see some sun in the afternoon. Meanwhile, Sunday will bring rain around the Danube River and in Swabia. However, it could also stay dry in the eastern Alpine foothills and the Bavarian Forest. The mercury will climb to a high of between 16 and 21 degrees.

Despite the looming Weekend filled with rain, many locals in Munich might still opt to explore the city's rich history and attractions, such as Marienplatz or Nymphenburg Palace. However, the DWD's weather forecast warns of potential Corpus Christi celebrations being affected by rain and even storms in parts of Bavaria.

The weather in Schwarzach seems particularly unpredictable. While the weather in nearby Munich is forecasted to be rainy this weekend, Schwarzach might experience a temporary respite with drier conditions on Saturday before the rain returns on Sunday.

Those planning a weekend getaway to Bavaria should be aware of the DWD's warnings. Their predictions indicate heavy rainfall across the region, including around the Danube River and in Swabia on Sunday, which could potentially disrupt travel plans.

If you're visiting the Free State region over the weekend, it would be wise to check the DWD's weather updates regularly. Their situation reports can provide the most accurate and up-to-date information about the current and forecasted weather conditions, including any severe rainfalls or storms.

Cautiousness is advised during this wet Weekend in Bavaria. Travelers should plan their routes considering the expected rainfalls and be prepared for potential road closures or delays due to flooding, as predicted by the DWD and the HND.
