Southern Bavaria has faced periods of heavy rainfall following warnings from the German Weather Service (DWD). Early October reports indicated heavy rain and cooler temperatures across several districts, including Augsburg and Garmisch-Partenkirchen, though conditions were expected to stabilize with sunshine following initial showers.

By October 8, the DWD issued a level 2 warning for continuous rain in several southern districts. Forecasts predicted rainfall amounts between 30 and 40 liters per square meter, potentially reaching 50 liters in some areas, which authorities warned could lead to flooded streets and underpasses. Northern Bavaria was also expected to experience wind gusts during this period.

Following a period of sunny, warm conditions, a weather shift was forecasted for the weekend of October 17. The DWD predicted clouds and scattered showers would move into the region starting Saturday, with rain continuing overnight into Sunday. This period was accompanied by declining temperatures, with highs in northern Bavaria reaching approximately 14 degrees Celsius, while some areas could see nighttime temperatures drop to zero degrees Celsius.

For the weekend of October 17 and 18, Bavaria is expected to experience cooler temperatures, rain, and significant fog warnings across numerous districts. A weather transition is anticipated to bring sunshine and temperatures reaching up to 20 degrees Celsius starting the following Monday.
