Germany Enters Unsettled Weekend as Fog Replaces Storm Threat in Bavaria

Drivers face very low visibility in parts of Bavaria as the thunder risk recedes.

Overview

  • The German Weather Service issued Level 2 thunderstorm warnings late Friday for Unterallgäu, Memmingen, Ostallgäu, Oberallgäu, Kempten and Lindau in southwest Bavaria.
  • Forecasters cited gusts up to about 75 km/h, intense short‑term rain near 20 liters per square meter per hour, frequent lightning and possible hail, urging people to stay indoors and secure loose objects.
  • By Saturday morning the acute severe‑thunder risk had largely eased, with grey skies, showers and only isolated storms lingering near the Alpine edge.
  • Dense fog and high stratus reduced visibility in parts of Bavaria to under 150 meters, while daytime temperatures across Germany ranged roughly from 14 to 21 degrees Celsius.
  • Short‑range outlooks remain uncertain for early October, with some model scenarios pointing to renewed disturbances and the possibility of snow at higher elevations.
