- After the first weekend in spring, when numerous excursionists took advantage of the fantastic weather *, the start of the week began rather cloudy and foggy in many places.

A trend that will probably continue for most of the week.

Nevertheless, it remains very warm and dry for the time of year.

Experts already fear a prolonged dry phase.

A problem especially for the flora in the growth phase in spring.

Weather in Bavaria: Peak values ​​of up to 18 degrees this week possible

The weather experts largely agree that the Free State will have a warm and sunny week ahead of them.

Fog can only occur again and again in the river valleys on the Danube and Main.

However, this usually resolves again by noon.

The reason for the fog formation are the frosty nights and the very low wind speeds *.

The warm air in higher altitudes does not mix with the cooler air in the valley

That is why the temperatures in the Danube region on Monday are only between six and twelve degrees.

Especially in the southwest, it will be really warm again at the start of the week.

In the Allgäu there are values ​​of up to 17 degrees.

Here the sun shines continuously.

And so it will remain for the coming days.

From Tuesday, warm air will flow from Spain to Bavaria again and let the thermometer climb up to 18 degrees.

Towards the weekend it becomes increasingly cloudy until spring takes a break on Saturday.

In some regions it can even rain a little.

The thermometer no longer rises above the twelve-degree mark.

Weather in Bavaria: Sahara dust covers the Free State

In addition to the fog, Sahara sand or its particles could create a cloudy sky towards the end of the week.

So don't be surprised if the car is covered in a fine, red cloth.

Because the sun schwertut to penetrate the clouds of sand, it may be cooler in the affected areas a few degrees, the meteorologist Dominik Jung of the weather service

.

What meteorologists are more concerned about is the lack of precipitation *.

“A major drought is in sight again by March 10th.

Not good prospects in the middle of the spring growth phase, ”says Jung.

It is way too hot for that time of year.

“It will be a few degrees colder from Friday, but it is still too warm for the time of year.” The American weather service NOAA is therefore again assuming a dry spring.

"There should be less precipitation than usual," said weather expert Jung.

Due to the spring-like temperatures, numerous day trippers stormed up the steps of the Walhalla near Regensburg at the weekend.

However, there were so many that the police had to intervene.
