Storm alarm in Bavaria: Strong thunderstorms and hail are threatening!
In Bavaria today, on July 14, 2025, attention is made! The German Weather Service (DWD) has issued a comprehensive weather warning. Strong thunderstorms and sometimes heavy showers are moving across the state from west to east today. Therefore, people are urged to exercise caution. Anyone who spends time outdoors should be careful, as there is a risk of not only heavy rain, but also storms with speeds of up to 80 km/h.
The current weather situation is influenced by a low pressure area west of the British Isles that is bringing warm, moist air to Bavaria, as the DWD mentions in an updated report. The amount of rain can locally reach up to 20 liters per square meter in a short period of time, although in the second half of the day heavy rain of up to 40 liters per square meter and hail up to 2 cm in size are possible. Severe weather warnings are in effect until at least 4 p.m.
