Bright sunshine and mild temperatures – the turn of the year felt more like spring in Bavaria. But now a cold front is approaching.
Munich (dpa / lby) – The new year in Bavaria started with lots of sun and exceptionally mild temperatures. Already on New Year’s Eve there were provisional record temperatures in some places in Bavaria. However, according to the German Weather Service (DWD), a cold front will move in from the northwest on Monday, which can bring clouds and rain with it. Stormy gusts can occur at higher altitudes.
On New Year’s Eve, the DWD had already measured provisional record values. In Wielenbach in the Upper Bavarian district of Weilheim-Schongau, it was 20.8 degrees on Saturday, warmer than ever before in a Bavarian town on New Year’s Eve. The highest temperature measured so far on a New Year’s Eve in Bavaria was 16.8 degrees in Kempten in 2021.
The state capital Munich also delivered a preliminary record value of 20 degrees. It was once again well above the previous New Year’s Eve record of 15.6 degrees, which was measured in the Bavarian capital last year.
According to a DWD spokesman, it will not remain that warm at the beginning of the new year. “Throughout the week, starting Tuesday, it’s going back into the single digits.”
