Bavaria expects rain and mild temperatures on 12 November

The German Weather Service expects extensive cloud and rain in places across Bavaria on 12 November 2026. Temperatures will remain above zero in most of the locations listed during the following night.

In Bavaria Much of Bavaria will be cloudy at times, with occasional rain, on 12 November 2026. The German Weather Service expects light rain later in the day in places including Augsburg, Bamberg and Kempten. In Munich Munich, it initially forecasts overcast skies and a high of 12 degrees. Rain is expected there overnight into 13 November.

According to the Weather Service forecast, temperatures that night will remain above freezing in most of the Bavarian locations listed. In Nuremberg Nuremberg, five degrees are expected; in Regensburg Regensburg, six degrees, and in Straubing, seven degrees. The forecast is three degrees in Würzburg and one degree in Hof. On the Zugspitze the Weather Service instead expects minus four degrees and snowfall.

For parts of Swabia, too, the Bayerischer Rundfunk describes a rainy evening. Its forecast says cloud will initially predominate on 13 November. Rain may still fall towards the Alps; above around 700 metres, snow and a corresponding risk of icy conditions are possible. These details are a forecast, not a report of road conditions that have already occurred.

The forecast shows differences between regions and elevations. For the night, the Weather Service expects mainly cloud in Würzburg and Nuremberg, while it predicts light rain in Regensburg and Straubing. It forecasts rain for Munich, Kempten and Oberstdorf and heavy rain for Hohenpeißenberg. On the Großer Arber light rain and gusts of wind are expected; on the Zugspitze, precipitation is forecast to fall as snow.

Later on 12 November, forecast highs in the cities listed are mostly between nine and 12 degrees. Hof is expected to reach nine degrees, and Augsburg and Bamberg 11 degrees each. In Oberstdorf, 12 degrees and light rain are forecast. On the Zugspitze, the Weather Service expects zero degrees, light snowfall and gusts of wind.

The overnight temperatures do not apply uniformly across Bavaria. They refer to the locations named by the Weather Service and may differ, particularly at higher elevations. So the forecast of above-zero temperatures in many cities does not rule out wintry conditions in the mountains. Conversely, the forecast of snow on the Zugspitze does not mean that snow is expected in lower-lying cities.

For traffic, the possible change from rain to snow at higher elevations is particularly relevant. The Bayerischer Rundfunk notes a possible risk of icy conditions above around 700 metres on 13 November. Whether and where this actually occurs will depend on how conditions develop. Weather forecasts describe likely developments; precipitation, temperature and timing may differ from them locally.
