Overview
- The German Weather Service says storms will develop from midday into the afternoon on Saturday and can produce widespread gusts around 80–90 km/h, short heavy rainfall of about 20 liters per square metre and small hail.
- Forecasters single out parts of Bavaria, especially Chiemgau and Berchtesgaden, for locally stronger effects including gusts near 60 km/h, hourly rainfall near 15 l/m² and hail.
- The convective band is expected to move east and weaken overnight, with many regions seeing conditions ease by Sunday but with variability between north, south and alpine areas.
- Weather models indicate a possible cold front around Tuesday that could replace milder air with cooler, more unstable Atlantic air and trigger another round of showers and thunderstorms, though timing and strength remain model-dependent.
- Authorities urge people and event organizers to monitor DWD warnings and apps, follow safety guidance for outdoor events, and prepare for sudden gusts, flash rain and local hail that could disrupt activities.
