The German Weather Service is currently issuing a weather warning for many regions in Bavaria.

It will probably be particularly uncomfortable in the Allgäu.

Munich – The weather in Bavaria has been raining down since Thursday, December 22nd.

The German Weather Service has now issued official warnings for many regions in Bavaria.

Disturbing: It could be particularly serious in the Allgäu.

Weather in Bavaria: DWD with severe weather warning for the Allgäu - flooding and landslides possible

Compared to last weekend, when the freezing cold and black ice warnings dominated the headlines, people in Bavaria are presented with a different picture towards the Christmas weekend.

Temperatures have climbed to around ten degrees on Friday and the snow has almost entirely disappeared.

Instead, there is rain – and quite a bit of it.

The German Weather Service (DWD) has now issued weather warnings for many regions in Bavaria.

It will be particularly bad from Friday evening to Saturday evening, December 24th, in the Allgäu.

A level three storm warning applies here: “Official storm warning against heavy continuous rain,” it says.

Amounts of precipitation between 60 and 90 liters per square meter are expected.

In the south of Bavaria there will be constant rain on Friday, December 23 - high water and flooding could be the result, warns the DWD.

With regard to the possible dangers resulting from the constant rain, the DWD writes about flooding that can occur on smaller rivers and streams.

Street flooding is also possible.

In addition, the DWD warns that landslides can occur - "Close all windows and doors!"

Not only in the Allgäu: continuous rain in many regions of Bavaria - how is the situation in Munich?

There are also DWD warnings for many other regions in Bavaria.

There is an official warning of wind gusts between 50 and 60 km/h in almost the entire Free State.

In exposed places even gusts of wind are possible.

Munich is also affected by this, but there are currently no further warnings for the state capital.

But in other regions: For large parts of Upper Franconia there is an "official warning of continuous rain", it is the weather warning level two of the DWD.

It also applies to all Alpine regions and eastern Bavaria around Passau.

All of these DWD warnings apply to the period from Friday, around 3 p.m., to Christmas Eve on Saturday.

The weather is expected to calm down on Sunday, December 25th.
