Sun in the foothills of the Alps - Bavaria the second sunniest federal state
Most of the sun was in the foothills of the Alps.
According to DWD information, she appeared in the region for more than 240 hours.
The average was 185 hours across Bavaria and around 160 hours nationwide.
After Baden-Württemberg, the Free State was the second sunniest federal state.
In winter a year ago, the sun only shined for an average of 171 hours in Bavaria.
Just in time for the beginning of spring on March 1st, the weather, which brought snow and ice in many places on Monday, should then show its nice side: "Lots of sun on Wednesday," says the DWD forecast.
Only in the foothills of the Alps can there be high fog for a long time.
