Also in the next few days it will be mainly wet and cold in Bavaria. The weather frustration is therefore likely to slowly reach unimagined heights for some people.
Munich – Many had high hopes for May. Finally it should be spring-like, a few days of sun in a row, with temperatures regularly above 20 degrees. From this point of view, however, the May balance so far has been catastrophic. Instead of sun, there is continuous rain, instead of spring-like temperatures, the thermometer remains at just over double digits.
Hardly any improvement in sight: Continuous rain continues – Brief ray of hope at the weekend
"The Ice Saints are going into overtime," explains meteorologist Dominik Jung of wetternet on YouTube when looking ahead to the end of next week around May 18. The Ice Saints, the last possible frosty nights according to regional farmers' rules, will end on Monday, May 15. According to current weather forecasts, the people of Bavaria will continue to experience the bad weather beyond that.

After the persistent rain of the last few days, at least the coming weekend will attract with slightly improved weather. For the time being, however, rain will remain predominant, especially in the southern half of the Free State. According to the German Weather Service (DWD) in the state capital Munich until Thursday evening, May 11, in the other southern regions until the early hours of Friday, May 12. In the northern half of Bavaria around Nuremberg, it should stop raining during the day.

Lots of snow in the mountains: Weather in Bavaria remains cold and rainy in May
Even if you can look forward to a few rain-free days in the near future, the weather trend in May remains clearly rainy. In the Alps, as the live cams on the Zugspitze show, among other things, there is even a dense layer of snow - sometimes far below the mountain peak. According to wetternet, it is expected to rain again on Monday, May 15, after the largely dry weekend.

Even a look at the ensemble forecast, i.e. the summary of various weather calculations, for southern Germany until the end of May does not promise a warm spring arrival. By the end of the month, temperatures will climb to just under 20 degrees on average, and "there is really a flood of rain announced," explains Jung. "Precipitation every day, and not too scarcely," says the weather expert.
