Rain, snow and wind determine the weather for the coming days in Bavaria. This can lead to muddy roads even at lower altitudes.


Rain, snow and wind determine the weather for the coming days in Bavaria.

This can lead to muddy roads even at lower altitudes.

Munich - Greislig, would say the Bavarian, if he looks at the weather forecast for the coming days.

It is not only old-fashioned, but also really uncomfortable, especially in the Allgäu and in the foothills of the Alps.

The snow line sinks and the water makes its way into the valley in crystalline form.

In the flatter part of Bavaria, however, it gets really wet.

A deep in the Mediterranean area has soaked itself in water and warm air and is ready to discharge its cargo over the Free State.

Weather in Bavaria: The flood of the century is on course for the Free State

Wednesday starts stormy in the south of the country. The first rain is already falling in the north. The German Weather Service (DWD) issues a storm warning for the entire Alpine region by 5 p.m. On the peaks, the wind blows at 70 to 85 kilometers an hour. "In Föhntälern gusts of wind at speeds of up to 60 km / h from the south occur above 800 m," says the DWD website. In Upper and Lower Franconia, on the other hand, the first drops of a "five-b-low" can already fall. A type of low pressure area known for its massive amounts of water. From the Mediterranean it moves towards Austria, Hungary to Poland, it says on

wetteronline.de

.

In many cases it leads to "heavy continuous rainfall".

Such a "five-b-low" was also responsible for the flood of the century on the Elbe in 2002.

At the edge of such a Mediterranean depression that moves north, cold polar air is shoveled south from there.

This will hit the Allgäu particularly hard in the coming days.

The snow line drops to 900 meters.

Slush mixed in with the rain.

"In the next few days a real snow bomb will hit the Alps," said Jan Schenk from The

Weather Channel Germany

.

So it can get slippery on the streets.

At higher altitudes, such as on the Zugspitze, a white blanket with well-padded ten to 15 centimeters of fresh snow can form.

There are even 25 centimeters in stowed positions.

In the Bavarian Forest it is enough for five to ten centimeters.

"Because of the plus degrees in Bavaria, the snow in the valleys will melt again in the following days, only on the mountains does the white splendor last longer," said a DWD spokesman.

Weather in Bavaria: The forecast is for rain

In the night of Thursday the sky over all of Bavaria opens its locks.

In addition to slush at one degree in Kempten, it rains heavily from Lower Bavaria (six degrees in Passau) to Lower Franconia (also six degrees in Würzburg).

Nothing will change that Thursday.

Rain and highs around eight degrees are on the program.

The situation will only relax again at the weekend.

Then a high creeps up to Bavaria and the sun determines the white-blue sky again.

However, the thermometer does not climb above ten degrees.

After all, it won't be minus 22.4 degrees like in 1998 in Oberstdorf in Bavaria, writes

wetteronline.de

.

However, we are a long way from the 25.9 degrees in Rosenheim in 1997.
