The German Weather Service has issued two warnings for Bavaria: gusts of wind and continuous rain threaten to start the weekend.

Munich – The start of January and the year 2023 in Bavaria was dominated by mild temperatures and a few rainy days.

Hardly a trace of winter so far, not even in the mountains does it want to be nice and white.

This recently led to a high risk of avalanches and overcrowded ski slopes where the descent was at least halfway possible.

In the second half of January, a change in the weather is of course still possible - at least towards the weekend it will be more uncomfortable than comfortable in Bavaria.

Weather warning in Bavaria: gusts of wind and continuous rain threaten

The German Weather Service (DWD) is currently warning for almost all of Bavaria.

In large parts, the weather warning level one applies – with the exception of the south-east, gusts of wind can be expected in the flatter areas, which can reach speeds of around 50 and 60 kilometers per hour.

For northern Bavaria, the DWD issues an official level two warning – there is a risk of continuous rain.

And in the south, from an altitude of 1,500 meters, there is even a threat of gusts of wind with speeds of around 80 kilometers per hour.

In the warning situation report of Thursday, January 12th, the DWD also says: "On Friday a cold front will spread to the Free State from the north-west." It brings with it the cold air, the stormy winds and the constant rain.

Not a pleasant start to the weekend.
