With a strong southwesterly flow, temperatures in the Alpine region will rise noticeably again on Wednesday, with isolated temperatures of up to 25 degrees to be expected on the northern side of the Alps. On Thursday, Austria will come under the influence of a marginal low, which will lead to the first storm of the autumn in Germany. According to the experts of the Austrian Severe Weather Center (www.uwz.at), we will remain largely unaffected by the storm, but its cold front will bring a lasting change to cool weather.
Southern foehn brings another Golden October on Wednesday
Before it becomes noticeably cooler in the Alpine region, pleasant October warmth is emerging, especially on Wednesday. “With a southwesterly flow, very mild air masses from the western Mediterranean reach our country,” explains Manfred Spatzierer, chief meteorologist of the Austrian Severe Weather Center. “Thus, on the northern side of the Alps and in the southern Vienna Basin, up to 24 degrees are to be expected, locally even another summer day could turn out.” In addition, there is also a lot of sunshine throughout the country, only in the west and south denser clouds make themselves felt in the afternoon. From the Rätikon over the Wipptal to the Tauern, a lively southern foehn will blow.
Cold front on Thursday
Thursday will show its unsettled side. From early in the morning, clouds will predominate in most of the country and rain showers will move through the northern side of the Alps as well as in East Tyrol and Upper Carinthia. During the day, a few showers will also fall in the east. It will initially remain dry in Lower Carinthia and southern Styria, here it will become widespread wet in the night to Friday. “The current will then turn from southwest to northwest with the passage of the cold front, so noticeably cooler air will flow into the country in the coming days,” predicts Spatzierer.
On Friday noticeably cooler, but more sun again
On Friday, it will rain intermittently, especially in the mountains and in the south, snow will fall only above 1200 to 1500 m. In the Danube region and in the eastern lowlands it will remain mostly dry and at least occasionally sunny, in the Weinviertel even sunshine will dominate and also in the west it will start to loosen up in the afternoon. With the brisk to strong westerly wind, however, it cools down considerably and the highs are only between 7 and 15 degrees.
From Saturday slowly high pressure influence
On Saturday, we will slowly come under the influence of high pressure. Especially in the west and south, the sun will shine frequently again. Dense clouds will remain from the Kaiserwinkl to the Waldviertel and Mariazeller Land, with a few isolated rain showers. Only in the course of the afternoon the sun will slowly appear again. With a decreasing westerly wind, the highs will be between 7 and 15 degrees. The further outlook, in the direction of the long weekend and the national holiday, also points to sunny and dry October weather.
