Starting Tuesday, the weather temperature will rise to 35 degrees or more.
“On Tuesday, the heat returns,” announces Florian Pfurtscheller of the weather service Ubimet, thus pleasing all those for whom the currently only average July temperatures are too low. Daytime highs of up to 33 degrees are expected as early as Tuesday, possibly even more depending on whether it’s further east or deeper south.
By meteorological definition, it takes three consecutive hot days to be allowed to use the term heat wave. This is the case next week, so now the next heat wave of this summer is rolling in, although not necessarily in all regions of Austria.
As of Wednesday, the country is divided into two parts, according to meteorologist Pfurtscheller: In the west, especially in Vorarlberg, a cold front settles already from Tuesday evening, the culprit is low “Zyprian”. “But this cold front then does not come a millimeter further,” describes the expert – and thus gives the east and south heat wave number two.
Dry heat, no rain
In the east and south of the country, the daily highs continue to rise until the presumed peak on Thursday with up to 36 degrees is expected. After that, the cold front should also move further east and dampen the heat. Until mid-July, however, the long-term models do not forecast any more major outliers.
At least, next week it will be dry air masses from southern Spain that will bring Austria the new heat days: Unlike the heat wave in June, no storms are expected, according to Pfurtscheller. However, no widespread rainfall either, which again means no relief for the east, which is already suffering from drought.
Before that, however, it will once again be moderately summery. On Sunday, 28 to 30 degrees are expected at daytime highs, on Monday 23 to 28 degrees.
