Bavaria
After several days of fog, cloud and sunshine, rain and milder air are expected across Bavaria this week as low-pressure system Pia moves in from the Atlantic, BR24 reports. Temperatures in parts of the south and west could reach 15C by midweek.
Monday will begin with widespread fog or low cloud, with sunshine breaking through in some areas. Pia’s warm front will bring clouds from the southwest from midday, followed by rain in parts of Swabia and Upper Bavaria. Highs will range from 4C in the Fichtel Mountains to 10C near the Alps.
Rain mainly in the south on Tuesday
Tuesday will be mostly dry in the north, though light rain is possible in southern Middle Franconia and the Upper Palatinate in the morning. The south will be cloudier, with rain at times. It should become drier in Lower Bavaria and along the Danube between Ulm and Regensburg during the afternoon. Highs will range from 6C near Hof and Passau to 12C in the higher Allgäu.
Clouds and occasional rain are expected on Wednesday, with more precipitation forecast in northern Bavaria than in the south. Near the Alps, light foehn conditions could bring sunny spells and mostly dry weather. Highs will reach 6C to 11C, rising to 11C to 15C in parts of Swabia and Upper Bavaria. Thursday is also expected to be mostly cloudy, with occasional rain and highs of 9C to 15C.
Colder air arrives on Friday
Rain is forecast in many areas overnight into Friday and through the day, gradually retreating towards the Alps. The snow line there is expected to fall to between 1,000 and 1,300 metres by evening. Colder air moving in from the direction of Iceland will bring highs of just 4C to 9C.
By Friday evening, expected rainfall totals range from 5 to 15 litres per square metre in northern Franconia and around 15 to 25 litres across much of Bavaria. Swabia and western Upper Bavaria could see 25 to 40 litres, with up to 70 litres locally in the Allgäu and around Lake Constance.
Conditions are expected to settle over the weekend as high pressure moves in from the northwest. The weather should be mostly dry, with some areas seeing prolonged fog or low cloud and others sunshine. Light frost is forecast overnight, with daytime highs of 3C to 7C.
