Bavaria Braces for More Rain Amid Floods

Published: 2024-09-14

In the southeastern region of Bavaria, Germany, persistent heavy rains have led to minor flooding, although the situation remains under control.

In areas like Oberbayern and the Bavarian Forest, small streams have overflowed, causing some roads to be submerged.

Despite these challenges, the water levels in major rivers are not alarming, and highways remain open.

In Passau, where the Danube, Inn, and Ilz rivers converge, preparations are underway to manage potential flooding, with sandbags being deployed as a precaution.

The weather is expected to improve temporarily, but more rain is forecasted, which could lead to rising water levels again.

Authorities are closely monitoring the situation to ensure public safety.
