Hard to believe with plenty of sun and temperatures around 16 degrees: Winter is coming back to Bavaria.
By the end of the week the weather turns completely.
Winter will come back on the weekend.
For the Alpine region up to minus ten degrees and snow have been predicted.
The winter in general was once again too warm

This news ticker is updated regularly.
Update, March 4, 12:47 p.m.:
The forecasts for the weather in Bavaria are confirmed.
Deep Friedrich will bring winter back tomorrow.
The temperatures drop to around zero degrees.
And it's snowing.
In the alpine country already on Friday morning.
But snow will also fall as far as Munich.
So there are slippery roads and slush in all of Upper Bavaria as well as in the Bavarian Forest and Vorwald.
In the lower areas around Regensburg * and Nuremberg * it just gets dirty and wet and cold.
On Saturday it clears up again, but with a clear frost in the nights.
The long-term prognosis for the coming days hardly promises any improvement.
It gets windy and stays cold.
Update from March 3, 9:34 a.m.:
Temperatures around 20 degrees and that for several days in a row.
Nice thing if the calendar sheet would read April or May.
But actually February / March is not known for throwing two-digit temperature values around.
Every weather layperson should be aware that something is wrong.
And this feeling can also be backed up with data.
The meteorologists' conclusion for winter 2020/21 - December, January and February - is unanimous.
It was the tenth winter in a row that was too warm.
For example, if you pick February, it was 1.3 degrees warmer in 2021 than in the comparable
years
from 1961 to 1990. The entire winter was even 1.4 degrees warmer than in the same period, writes
wetter.net
.
And even if you don't go back that far and look at the years from 1991 to 2020, the picture is no different.
February was 0.3 and the entire winter 0.4 degrees warmer than the long-term average.
Weather in Bavaria: Winter was average in terms of precipitation and hours of sunshine
In addition to the mild temperatures, the sun shone in many places for longer than average in February.
In the Allgäu in particular, the yellow ball appeared more frequently than the average, "so that the cloudy January could be largely compensated for," writes
wetter.net
.
The duration of sunshine over the entire winter was therefore average.
Winter 2020/21 was also pretty normal in terms of precipitation *.
While it was a little too dry in the northern half of Germany, it rained and snowed more in the south than the average.
In terms of Germany as a whole, there was a small precipitation deficit, but this is still within limits.
Meteorologists only see black for March.
According to initial assessments, the month is likely to be too dry.
First report from March 2, 2021:
Munich - Winter is coming ... back.
Sounds absurd at first when you look out of the window.
But it seems to be becoming more and more likely, at least if one can believe the relevant weather forecast *.
How much snow * will fall where - and whether in large parts of Bavaria at all, cannot yet be estimated.
But it is also clear that it cools down significantly.
Weather in Bavaria: Last sunny day Wednesday
If you can, you should still enjoy the spring sun to the full on Wednesday (March 3rd).
Tomorrow will be the warmest day of the young spring month of March.
A maximum of 11 to 15 degrees, in the southern foothills of the Alps up to 17 degrees, writes the German Weather Service (DWD) in its current Bavaria forecast.
17 degrees in the shade on March 3rd - that is impressive.
Winter in Bavaria is coming back: As of Thursday, the spring weather will be over
But then that's it for now.
From Thursday it will cool down significantly.
The wind turns from west to north to northeast.
It brings cool air masses to Bavaria.
There will be frost again in many places during the night.
Weather in Bavaria: Snowfall in the lowlands - slippery roads on Friday
Friday then only brings maximum values of up to 1 to 6 degrees in the morning.
And it's snowing - maybe even in Munich *.
At the edge of the Alps and in the Alps all day long.
The DWD even writes of "continuous snowfall".
The snow can stay there.
In the eastern low mountain ranges, the snow line is said to drop to an altitude of 400 to 200 meters.
At the edge of the Alps around 800. And there the temperatures also drop to minus eight degrees.
In the rest of Bavaria, too, temperatures down to minus three degrees can be reached - when it is snowing.
Weather trend for Bavaria: It remains cold and mixed
So it could well be that the landscape in the south of Bavaria but also in the low mountain ranges is getting a white robe again.
It can get slippery in the whole of Bavaria by Saturday night at the latest.
On the night of Sunday, snow temperatures can even drop to minus ten degrees.
During the day they remain in the single digits in most parts of Bavaria.
Only in the extreme southwest could the 10 degree mark be reached again.
And also at the start of the coming week it will remain frosty at night.
The snow, however, should turn into rain again during the day.
Actually a very typical March winter weather in Bavaria.
Because 17 degrees at the beginning of March are actually much too warm for this time of the year.
Speaking of which: did you already know?
The Zugspitze * could explode at some point due to climate change.
It has happened before.
