Rain in Schongau: What You Need to Know

For Schongau in Franconian basin, the key weather variable isn't a daily percentage — it's exactly when a cell crosses the Regnitz (Main tributary) catchment and how fast it tracks toward your location.

For anyone spending time outdoors in Schongau, the question isn't whether it might rain in Bavaria today. It's whether rain will reach the Regnitz (Main tributary) catchment in the next 20 minutes. The radar answers that.

The radar data behind Schongau's live map comes from Germany's DWD — 17 stations, 5-minute scans, dual-polarization Doppler. What you see on the map is where rain actually is, not where a model thinks it will be.
