Flood “thriller” in Munich: Isar level will continue to rise despite the sun - new warning level is imminent
First report from July 19, 9.48 a.m .:
Munich - After the heavy storms at the weekend, the risk of flooding in Bavaria is not averted.

The city of Ingolstadt, the district of Neuburg-Schrobenhausen, Rosenheim, Mühldorf am Inn and Passau are affected.
Storm in Bavaria: "Crime" about flood reporting level in Munich
Several areas are colored orange, so there is a “flood warning of embankments and floods” for them. In addition to Augsburg, the district of Freising and the district and city of Munich are also affected. The HND currently puts the level for the urban Isar at 296 centimeters (measured value at 9.45 a.m.). Four centimeters are therefore still missing for reporting level 2.
According to the HND, reporting level 2 means: “Agricultural and forestry areas are flooded or there are slight obstructions to traffic on main traffic and municipal roads.” The reason for the rising level: “
The abundant rainfall in the Alpine region has led to a considerable rise in the water level in the Sylvenstein reservoir.
In order to create new flood storage space, an increased charge to the Isar is necessary, so that despite the sunshine, long-lasting floods in the Isar can be expected.
