Ex-hurricane Kirk brings storm and rain to Bavaria-danger remains!

In Bavaria, the weather is currently anything but pleasant. Ex-hurricane Kirk reached the Free State on Thursday night, October 10th and ensures stormy weather. While the all -clear has now been given in some regions, it remains uncomfortable in others. The storm low has already led to numerous weather warnings of the German Weather Service (DWD).

The Situation is already a little better on Thursday afternoon, but the warnings apply to several counties, including Cham, Straubing, Rain, Deggendorf and Freyung-Grafenau. Here the storm could still cause damage. The wind speeds can reach between 65 km/h and 80 km/h in these regions and represent a significant danger.

But that's not all: the rain follows after the storm. In the districts of Miesbach, Rosenheim, Traunstein and in the Berchtesgadener Land, the DWD warned of heavy rain. Rainfall of up to 25 liters per square meter is expected within six hours. These warnings initially apply until Thursday afternoon.

Behind the storm low, a cold front pulls out from the northwest, which brings cooler air into the region. This not only means stronger wind, but also the possibility of thunderstorms. The weather experts advise to be careful and to look for protection in strong wind and rain. According to the DWD, falling branches and objects flying around can pose a danger. One should therefore secure freely standing objects and pay attention to falling objects.

The weather conditions have already relaxed in the afternoon in most parts of Bavaria, but in the eastern half of the Free State the warning situation remains tense. Even if the storm warnings were lifted in some areas, the weather remains rough and the citizens should continue to be vigilant.
