Weather in Bavaria: On Saturday there will be strong gusts of wind.
The strong wind is followed by a drop in temperature and a lot of snow in places.
Munich - extreme weather in Germany: Something is brewing over the Free State.
On this Saturday (March 13th) strong winds up to gusts of wind have Bavaria firmly under control.
Weather experts therefore warn of damage.
According to
BR
meteorologist Michael Sachweh, it was the stormiest day so far this year.
Sachweh speaks of "insurance-relevant" dimensions, so he warns of branches falling on cars or that scaffolding could overturn.
The wind speeds are up to 90 kilometers per hour.
Storm in Bavaria: Strong winds up to gusts of wind - temperatures plummet
During the day it was only quieter in southern Bavaria near the Alps, where, according to the meteorologist, the mountains offered protection from the adverse wind conditions.
In the evening, the storm should also reach these regions.
The
German Weather Service (DWD)
therefore issued a level 3 - red - severe weather warning for the Bavarian Prealps.
It's not just the storm that is worrying.
So expected rain can soon turn into snow.
So it should actually be winter again - and especially snow above 500 meters.
In addition, the temperatures in southern Bavaria drop to zero degrees.
On Saturday lunchtime it was up to 14 degrees in the same area.
Weather in Bavaria at the weekend: The storm is followed by snow, especially in the Alps
The snowfall is supposed to last in the mountain regions of Bavaria until next Wednesday (March 17th).
Even more: In the Alps, up to 70 centimeters of fresh snow is expected.
But it should snow all over Bavaria, just south of Munich in places with up to 25 centimeters.
The meteorologists from
wetter.com
therefore warn of snow-covered roads.
But that's not all: it should stay frosty at night until the coming weekend.
Since the temperatures are fixed in the single-digit range during the day, at least the snow should thaw away again immediately.
What remains to be said is that winter is once again making a comeback in southern Germany.
