Weather services for Bavaria forecast snow and rain for the whole week.

The German Weather Service warns of a strong thaw at the weekend.

  • Bavaria is sinking under masses of snow.

  • Towards the end of the week, the snow turns into rain and it starts to thaw.

  • The precipitation * and the thaw can lead to floods in some places (see update from January 27, 9:32 a.m.).

Update from January 27, 2:32 p.m.:

From Thursday,

winter

in Bavaria will take a temporary break.

The

snowfalls of

the past few days are slowly turning into

rain

.

The temperatures rise by almost ten degrees.

Thaw

sets in.

The reason for this is a low that is currently still above the Atlantic.

A meteorologist from the

German Weather Service

explains how the unusual change in weather comes about.

Bavaria weather: Heavy rain and thaw can lead to flooding

Update from January 27th, 9:32 a.m.:

On Wednesday it should

snow

again widely

across Bavaria

.

From Passau to Lindau and from Garmisch-Partenkirchen to Würzburg, the white flakes have been predicted.

But it will probably not be as massive as on Monday.

Because already during the day the

weather situation changes

and the

snowfall line

continues to rise.

According to the

German Weather Service

(DWD),

temperatures are

between minus two and plus three degrees during the day.

In addition, there is strong gusty wind in places.

On Thursday night it can only snow sporadically.

Coming from the west, the

rain

slowly begins to

prevail.

Therefore, be careful on the streets.

The DWD warns of

slippery conditions

due to snow, slush or freezing moisture.

On Thursday the weather turns almost 180 degrees.

The

snowfall

retreats in layers over 1500 meters.

In the lowlands it gets warm and rainy.

The

snow masses of

the past few days are starting to thaw.

Combined with the heavy

rainfall

- which should last until the weekend - streams and rivers can burst their banks in some places.

The

alpine region

up to Lake Constance is

particularly

affected by the weather change.

The DWD has issued an “official storm warning of severe thaw” for this area.

South of the state capital and in the north of Bavaria there is a threat of floods from thaw.

According to

wetter.net

, Deep Nicolai is responsible for the mild temperatures of up to eight degrees and the

precipitation

.

While the low rises over Bavaria, it has up to

60 liters of rain

per square meter in the luggage

, especially for the regions south of Munich

.

The consequences could be

floods

in many places

.

Road closures would then be the result in some areas.

And that's not all.

Stormy gusts

are still

forecast

for the coming days

.

The

thaw

and the large amounts of water soften the soil.

This

makes it easy for the

storm

to uproot trees.

It is therefore urgently advised not to go into the forest or the mountains.

By Sunday at the latest, the brief heat dip will end again and

winter

will come back.

On Sunday, the DWD predicts values ​​between minus one and minus eight degrees again.

It should snow again at the beginning of the week.

Weather in Bavaria: First the snow comes, then it thaws

Update from January 27, 7:38 a.m.:

After the masses of fresh snow, the

German Weather Service (DWD)

issued

an

advance warning of severe weather

for parts of Bavaria

.

In the districts of Oberallgäu, Unterallgäu, Ostallgäu, Landsberg am Lech, Weilheim-Schongau and Garmisch-Partenkirchen there is a risk of a

thaw

.

In addition, it says: "Abundant rain falls up to positions of 1500-1800 m." Together with the existing snow cover, water quantities of 60 to 100 mm result, in stagnant positions up to 130 mm.

This is a first indication of expected storms!

It should

enable

the timely

preparation of protective measures

.

The prognosis will be

concretized

in the next 24 hours by a

warning

.

Follow the further weather conditions with special attention.

The warning applies from Thursday (midnight) to Saturday at 6 p.m. *

In all of Bavaria there is also a threat of frost and slippery weather until Wednesday noon, and light snowfall will also occur.

Update from January 26th, 8:10 p.m.:

Also on Tuesday,

tons of

fresh snow

fell almost all over

Bavaria

, which in some places caused chaos on the streets and other significant restrictions.

Before the heavy

snowfall should turn

into

rain

towards the end of the week

(see update from January 26th, 2:04 p.m.), due to the temperatures and

weather conditions

, especially at night, there will be

ice

and

frost

.

The

German Weather Service

(DWD) issued an official

warning

of

slippery

weather

and

frost

on Tuesday evening for the night of Wednesday and Wednesday morning

.

Since

temperatures

around -5 degrees Celsius are expected

overnight

and light

snowfall is

still possible,

slippery

roads must be expected, especially on the roads.

The

warning

is valid until 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday.

You

should therefore be

particularly

careful

with

drivers

who are out

and

about

in the early hours of the morning.

turns

into rain.

According to

wetteronline

, it should be

up to ten degrees warm by Friday.

That is called

thaw

.

But what to do with the water masses?

Rain from above and condensation from below can

lead

to

flooding

in some regions

.

The

German Weather Service

(DWD) is

already warning of a

“severe thaw”.

The southwest of Bavaria is said to be particularly affected.

For the

Allgäu

, the

DWD

predicts 130 millimeters of water in congestion between Thursday morning and Saturday evening.

Even now he advises to take precautions in good time.

exactly in which regions special

protective

), it snowed heavily in all of Bavaria on Monday.

The state capital

Munich

, which had very mild

temperatures of

up to 12 degrees last weekend

, is now again under a blanket of white snow.

On Monday evening, the heavy

snowfall,

which in some places had lasted all day, caused numerous

obstructions

 on roads and highways

in all of southern Bavaria 

.

In the

greater Munich area

alone 

 , the state traffic

information

system 

Bayerninfo reported 

dozens of traffic jams.

 According to the information, the southern part of the

A8, the A95, the A96

 and the Munich

 A99 motorway

 ring

are 



particularly affected by 

snow

 and the resulting

ice

Update January 25, 17:35:

The

Free State of Bavaria

is

snowy

started in the last week of January.

Snow,

black ice

and poor visibility have led to many

traffic accidents

.

Most of them went off pretty lightly.

There were three major missions on the

A8,

during which the drivers - partly because of excessive speed -

lost control of their car

on the

slippery road surface

.

A 62-year-old

injured

himself slightly at Burgau.

Snowy start of the week in the Free State: Numerous accidents on Bavaria's roads

Fortunately,

a 27-year-old and a 37-year-old survived their

accidents

at Neu-Ulm without damage.

However, the 37-year-old's car had to be recovered with a crane.

Similar accidents occurred at Runding in the Cham district and at Hauzenberg in the Passau district.

A car was

hit

by a

roof avalanche

in the municipality of Pfronten

.

No person was injured here either.

Up to 20 centimeters of fresh snow: German weather service predicts another winter week in Bavaria

A

car driver

in the

Miesbach

district was

hit a little worse

.

In an accident on the B 472 between Miesbach and Irschenberg, his car hit a

tree

.

The driver was apparently trapped in the vehicle.

According to the

German Weather Service (DWD)

, it will remain

cold and snowy

in

Bavaria

for the next few days

, especially on the

edge of the Alps

and in the low mountain ranges.

In the west and south of the

Free State,

meteorologists

expect

one to five centimeters, in the Alps ten to 20 centimeters of

fresh snow

.

Update from January 25th, 3:50 p.m.:

You can actually save yourself a look at the weather report in Bavaria in the coming days.

And already at the beginning of the white winter week, the situation in the

Bavarian Alps

worsened.

This morning the

avalanche warning service in Bavaria

only reported a maximum of danger level two - so moderate.

In the afternoon,

the warning level above the tree line was raised to considerably

for the

Allgäu

and

Werdenfels Alps

.

According to the

warning service,

the

main problem is

the coincidence of fresh and old

drift snow

.

Caution is required, especially with new drift snow.

A single skier or ski

tourer can

trigger

an

avalanche here

.

Until Tuesday morning there should be

more "heavy snowfall"

freezing point

during the day

The heavy

rain of

the previous days then results in slippery roads and difficult weather conditions.
