As Bavaria approaches the final days of Carnival leading to Ash Wednesday, the weather is set to vary greatly, according to the German Weather Service (DWD). Initially, many clouds will dominate, but there will also be moments of sunlight. In the southern regions of Bavaria, snow is still expected, although the clouds will gradually dissipate. Overnight into Monday, more snowfall is anticipated, but this will quickly transition into rain, with temperatures dipping to as low as minus six degrees Celsius.

Monday, known as Rosenmontag, is forecasted to begin with snowfall, which will change to rain. There is also the possibility of isolated thunderstorms and hail showers throughout the day. As Carnival Tuesday approaches, persistent rain showers are expected, with snowfall occurring at elevations above 400 meters. The fluctuating weather conditions are likely to impact Carnival celebrations, adding a layer of complexity to festivities that typically involve outdoor activities.

Additionally, the recent high water situation in Bavaria has shown signs of easing, which is a positive development considering the unpredictable elements of winter weather. However, the combination of rain, potential snow, and freezing conditions poses a risk of icy roads, affecting travel and safety for residents and Carnival-goers alike. This multifaceted weather forecast paints a vivid picture of the challenges facing those in Bavaria as they prepare for the last moments of Carnival festivities.
