Chaos threatens on the streets on the day of the strike.

Munich – The clocks have switched to daylight saving time, nature is blooming, winter is history – at least that’s the facts.

However, a look out of the window in Munich does not show too much of this.

On Sunday (March 26) it rains again and again in the state capital, the sun is hiding behind a thick cloud cover.

In addition, the temperatures are in the single-digit range and continue to fall from the afternoon.

On the home straight in March, winter really wants to know it again.

The German weather service even warns in large parts of Bavaria – even before snowfall.

In stowed areas, quantities of up to 50 cm are reached.

It will be spread smoothly," said the DWD in an official statement.

And that's not all.

Even in Munich, according to

wetteronline,

there should be snowfall on Monday night and at the start of the new week.

However, the quantities are said to be far lower than at the edge of the Alps.

Nevertheless, Alban Burster, meteorologist from

wetter.com

, warned against

IPPEN.MEDIA

that the winter "is actually stopping by again in Munich and the region".

On Monday, March 27, the thermometer in the Isar metropolis reached a peak of just four degrees.

Compared to the spring-like 17 degrees a few days ago, this is a real drop in temperature.

It is said that the sun will hardly make it through the cloud cover.

And on the edge of the Alps, winter fans can look forward to white landscapes.

For all those who can hardly wait for spring, on the other hand, this means: be patient.

For all those who plan to switch to the car because of the mega strike on Monday, there could be significant traffic disruptions due to the onset of winter.

Here, too, many people will have to be patient, especially in southern Bavaria.
