Overview
- The Deutscher Wetterdienst has issued a Warnstufe 2 thunderstorm warning for parts of southeast Bavaria with locally concentrated cells expected to produce gusts up to about 70 km/h and to weaken after midnight.
- Temperatures will fall to roughly 18–13 °C overnight for temporary relief, but forecasts show heat returning over the weekend with daytime highs of about 28–35 °C and a higher chance of heat‑triggered storms in the Alpenvorland and Bayerischer Wald.
- A region‑wide forest‑fire warning at Warnstufe 4 remains in force, which bans open fires near woods and advises against parking on dry grass because of the high ignition risk.
- The DWD urges people to seek shelter from lightning, avoid bodies of water, secure loose objects and scaffolding, and adapt driving for sudden wind and rain as traffic and outdoor plans may be disrupted.
- Older and care‑dependent residents face elevated health risks from the ongoing heat, and the DWD advises everyone to monitor its bulletins and follow local authority instructions because warnings can change quickly.
