DWD warns of continuous rain in Munich's region: "Precipitation amounts of up to 50 l/m² expected

The DWD's warning states: "There will be continuous rain of varying intensity. Precipitation amounts of up to 30 l/m² are expected. In congested areas, quantities of up to 50 l/m² are achieved." The blame for the wet weather was a "strong low", which on Tuesday directs very humid air into the south of Bavaria. "At the same time, with a cold front from the northwest, cooler air flows to the Alps, where a congestion sets in." This means that the snow line continues to fall.

Above 1500 meters, the DWD expects 10-15 centimeters of fresh snow, in congested areas even around 25 centimeters. "In the night to Wednesday partly to close to 1000 meters sinking snow line, above that until Wednesday morning 1-5 centimeters of fresh snow," it continues.

Thunderstorm expected in Swabia: "Heavy rain lasting several hours"

It will also be uncomfortable in the rest of Bavaria. The DWD predicts isolated thunderstorms with heavy rain for Swabia and the Bavarian Forest. Even away from thunderstorms, "heavy rain lasting several hours" is possible.

The low brings not only moist, but also partly cool air to the south of Bavaria. As a result, temperatures drop to 13 degrees in Munich. It is not until the weekend that the temperatures rise above the longed-for spring-like 20 degrees again. (tkip)
