Weather in Bavaria: Week starts gray and wet - first rivers overflow

Bavaria is starting the week with gray and wet weather, leading to river overflows due to rainfall and snowmelt.

The week in Bavaria begins with overcast skies and persistent rain, according to the forecasts from the German Weather Service (DWD). Residents can expect continued rain over the next few days, with mild temperatures despite the dreary weather. Midweek may bring a brief reprieve for spring enthusiasts, potentially brightening the mood as milder conditions set in.

Currently, rain showers are occurring frequently throughout Bavaria, with the mountain regions expected to experience ongoing snowmelt until midday. In the past three days alone, areas around Bavaria have received significant rainfall, with averages of about 50 liters per square meter reported. Some locations, such as the Bavarian Forest, have seen even higher numbers, contributing to rising water levels.

As a result of this weather pattern, flooding has been notably impactful in northern Bavaria, with particular areas facing greater risks due to the combination of rain and melting snow. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation, and residents are advised to stay informed about local conditions and safety recommendations as rivers are at risk of overflowing their banks, causing disruptions and potential hazards.
