Storm and continuous rain have moved south across the Free State.
But now High Timeo is coming and the weather in Bavaria is changing.
Update, Monday 3rd October
: A lot has come from the sky in the last few hours.
In the last few days it has been uncomfortable and wet in parts of Bavaria.
According to the German weather service (DWD), on Monday morning (October 3rd) some rain or drizzle is still to be expected on the western edge of the Alps, otherwise it will remain dry.
Weather in Bavaria "calm autumn weather" sets in
The high-pressure influence prevails, "thus calm autumn weather sets in," reports the DWD.
In Swabia, the sky clears up in the afternoon and "in the other regions only little, between Rhön and the Bavarian Forest practically no sun".
The maximum values are between 12 and 15 degrees, on the Lower Main at 17 degrees.

The flood news service Bavaria (HND) has meanwhile corrected its level forecasts slightly upwards.
Accordingly, there can be slight flooding on the banks of the Iller, especially in the district of Oberallgäu and in the city of Kempten.
Water bodies can also burst their banks in the city and district of Bamberg.
The HND verbatim:
“The levels will rise more sharply today with the passage of the next front, especially in those areas where intensive precipitation already fell yesterday. The Iller catchment area is particularly affected, but also isolated levels in the rain catchment area and in Franconia, as well as on the edge of the Alps.”

But also in parts of Franconia and in the foothills of the Alps there are gusts with wind speeds between 55 and 75 km/h.
