The bull heat seems to be over for now.
But the Free State is facing a mix of sun and thunderstorms this week.
Tornadoes can even occur.
Munich – The great heat seems to be over for the time being.
Sunday (June 19th), and thus also the last day of Pentecost, was not stingy with top values and records.
According to BR weather expert Michael Sachweh, Kitzingen was the hottest place in Bavaria yesterday with 37.4 degrees.
Hotter than any other June day since records began 40 years ago.
The Franconian metropolis of Nuremberg set a 100-year record with 36.7 degrees.
There was also a new June record in Kösching near Ingolstadt with 35.7 degrees.

Weather in Bavaria: High temperature differences favor storms
The big shower follows the great heat.
Bayern faces a wet and turbulent week.
Already in the morning individual thunderstorms passed over the Free State.
Especially in the middle and in the south-east of Bavaria it crashed harder.
The reason was the subtropical air, which is now being gradually expelled from the north by the colder sea air, according to the German Weather Service (DWD).
These extreme air mass limits, in the north only 15 degrees were partially reached, are a breeding ground for thunderstorms and storms.
The graduate meteorologist Dominik Jung says that the weather conditions will be "dangerous" this week.
It also says in his forecast that there can always be thunderstorms in Bavaria.
“In addition to downpours, the conditions for the formation of tornadoes are given.
There's a lot of energy in the atmosphere.” He expects an exciting but also dangerous weather week.
