München – carry south-west winds dust from the Sahara to Lower and Upper Bavaria. As a meteorologist from the German Weather Service (DWD) said, a strong reddish-brown discoloration of the sky is expected, especially on Wednesday afternoon.
Light rainfall will result in “blood rain” washing out the desert sand. The falling water then turns brownish. For example, the sand can become visible on cars or garden furniture.
“This is nothing unusual at this time,” said the DWD weather expert. In the process, desert sand is whirled up in low-pressure areas over North Africa and carried around the world in higher air layers. These winds reach Germany mainly in spring and summer.

According to the meteorologist, there is currently a lot of dust in the air due to the persistent drought. Northeast winds will then carry the desert sand out of Germany again from Thursday.
On Wednesday there will be some rain at the edge of the Alps. In the other regions of Bavaria, the sun shines through the loosening cloud cover. Thursday will remain sunny with temperatures up to 18 degrees. Only on Friday there will be some precipitation again in the north. Otherwise, according to the DWD, the sun will continue to lead to temperatures of up to 16 degrees.
Sunny and dry weather is expected to continue for the next few days.
