Munich (dpa / lby) - A passing cold front temporarily brings somewhat cooler temperatures to Bavaria. A meteorologist from the German Weather Service (DWD) explained that the front was moving through the entire Free State on Friday night. As a result, it cools down to up to 19 degrees in the Vogtland, and according to the forecast, 20 to 25 degrees will be reached in most regions. The peak values are therefore a maximum of 27 degrees in the Regensburg area and on the Danube and 26 degrees in Munich.
Saturday will probably be similar, on Sunday up to 28 degrees are possible again. "The weekend will also be consistently dry, there is a lot of sun, a real summer weekend," said the weather expert. "The drought remains."
Because of the high risk of forest fires, the governments of Upper Bavaria and Lower Bavaria had already ordered observation flights on Thursday to discover possible fires from the air. "Forests on light, sandy locations with little vegetation, sunny forest clearings and forest edges are particularly at risk," said Upper Bavaria, for example. The government of Lower Bavaria urgently appealed to exercise extreme caution in forest areas and never to handle open fire or smoke.
