Overview

• Official level‑2 heavy‑rain alerts were issued Friday morning for multiple Bavarian districts, with 15–25 liters per square meter in short periods and locally up to about 30.
• The DWD warns of rapid flooding on roads and in underpasses and of aquaplaning, advising drivers in affected areas to adjust speed and avoid flooded sections.
• Forecasters expect a continuing mix of sun, showers and isolated thunderstorms through the weekend without a fundamental shift, with highs broadly around 18–24 °C on Saturday and 22–26 °C on Sunday.
• Northern regions face a cloudy, at times rainy and windy weekend with isolated strong thunderstorms and gusts up to roughly 65 km/h, with the thunder risk easing by Sunday.
• The DWD’s seasonal take finds summer 2025 relatively warm but not a record at about 18.0–18.5 °C, as researchers note more persistent large‑scale patterns in a warming climate.
