water
.
Normally there is
a large meadow
here in
Bavariapark
- but the
thaw
has
melted
the
snow masses
into a huge lake, and the
rain
did the rest.
Icy melt lakes
formed
throughout the city at the weekend
, and the water on the Isar and Würm was also higher than usual.

Masses of water in Munich: Snow melted quickly due to continuous rain and mild temperatures
Because of the mild weather at the end of last week, the
snow had melted rapidly
, but the earth was still frozen or covered with a layer of ice.
And then there was also the
constant rain
: “So the ground couldn't absorb the amount of water quickly enough and it dammed up.
But there were no missions - the
situation was very relaxed,
”says the spokesman.
In the event of floods,
the groundwater level
may only
rise
two to three days later
and the basement flooded,
for example in the Au: "But we are not assuming that at the moment either."
The
weather situation *
is changeable: on Monday it will remain mostly dry with maximum temperatures of 5 degrees, but rain can set in again in the evening.
As a result, the temperatures become milder - the values then even jump into the double-digit range at
values around 11 degrees
.
But: The
rain
will probably be with us for six days.
Water on!
