Predicted climate conditions - Uninterrupted downpours predicted for the Free State until Sunday.
In Germany's Free State, the German Meteorological Service (DWD) predicts a continuous downpour on Friday. They also anticipate showers, some of which will be quite intense, on Saturday. This rain could persist in northern Bavaria through Sunday.
The DWD estimates that between 50 to 90 liters of rain will fall per square meter in most Bavarian regions on Friday, up to 100 liters in catchment areas. Lower Bavaria is expected to see 30 to 50 liters of rain. The temperature range will be between 11 to 17 degrees.
Earlier this week, two water management authorities in Bavaria warned of potential flooding issues. In Schwandorf, local flooding and floods are expected to last until Friday afternoon, while in Miesbach, there may be flooding. The police have reported only minor flooding in the Cham area, including a flooded cellar and a flooded road. The rest of the state has been largely unaffected thus far.
After Friday night, experts warn of even more heavy rainfall. Saturday is expected to be predominantly cloudy, with ongoing rain, as well as strong, invigorating winds.
On Sunday night, both rain and potential thunderstorms are forecasted. The south of Bavaria might experience some clearing and drying, though. According to the DWD, the rain will linger across the Danube and in Swabia on Sunday. From the north, Franconia is predicted to see gradual clearing to the point of sunshine by Monday morning.

Despite the continuous rain predicted in Lower Bavaria on Friday and potentially persisting through Sunday, visitors planning a weekend getaway to Munich might want to check the weather forecast. The German Meteorological Service (DWD) has issued a warning for heavy rainfall across Bavaria, with some regions, such as catchment areas, expected to receive up to 100 liters of rain per square meter.
The rain in Lower Bavaria, specifically, is predicted to be less intense, with 30 to 50 liters expected to fall. However, the DWD also warns of further heavy rainfall after Friday night, with Saturday predicted to be predominantly cloudy, with ongoing rain and strong winds.
This uninterrupted rain is expected to last until Sunday night, when both rain and potential thunderstorms are forecasted in the south of Bavaria. Interestingly, while the rain will continue in Swabia and the Danube area, Franconia is predicted to see gradual clearing and potential sunshine by Monday morning.
Despite these challenging weather conditions, some parts of Bavaria have already experienced flooding earlier this week. Authorities in Schwandorf and Miesbach predicted ongoing local flooding and floods, while the police reported minor flooding in the Cham area.
However, the rest of Bavaria has been largely unaffected thus far, providing visitors with an opportunity to explore the region while keeping an eye on the ever-changing weather forecasts.
