The last week of 2021 will also remain almost without snow and will be very mild, meteorologists at the Central Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamics (ZAMG) forecast on Sunday.
Vienna weather in detail
Although it remains quite cloudy and foggy, but the temperatures rise, especially until the end of the week up to 15 degrees.
On Monday still snow drizzle in the east
Particularly in the eastern half of the country, deep clouds will persist over the lowlands on Monday, but this will only lead to unproductive snow drizzle or freezing drizzle in places. In the west, the clouds will mostly clear, and in the afternoon small sunny windows are possible over the eastern lowlands. Towards evening, it will be cloudy in Vorarlberg. The wind will be light to moderate, mainly from east to south. Early temperatures will still be minus seven to plus three degrees, daytime highs between around zero degrees in the west and up to plus ten degrees in the east.
On Tuesday, more and more clouds will gather in the northwest and especially on the northern side of the Alps from Vorarlberg to Salzburg, light rain will soon set in, the snow line will rise to over 1,500 meters above sea level. In the east, a regionally thick layer of high fog will persist, from which snow drizzle or light, partly freezing drizzle may occur. In between, the clouds will temporarily clear in a narrow band. The wind near the ground will be light to moderate, still mainly from the east to south. Early temperatures will reach minus six to plus one degrees, quite in the west already around plus four degrees, daytime highs one to nine degrees, north of the Danube locally also light permafrost.
From Wednesday, it will be significantly milder
Frontal systems will bring significantly milder Atlantic air from the west on Wednesday. The day will start cloudy and with rain in many places. During the day, the rain will subside in the south and the clouds may partly clear. North of the main ridge of the Alps, more showers will fall and in the late afternoon, the onset of rain in Vorarlberg will herald the next gush of warm air. The snow line is mostly between 1,200 and 1,500 meters above sea level, rising to over 2,000 meters in the west towards evening. Especially in the east, black ice is to be expected locally on the cold ground at first. Moderate to brisk westerly winds will come up and bring milder air, only in the very east and in the south it will remain windless. Early temperatures will range from minus four to plus six degrees Celsius, daily highs from one to ten degrees, depending on the wind.
From Thursday, a warm front will bring rain
On Thursday, a warm front will bring widespread dense clouds and rain, which will also be heavy on the northern side of the Alps. The snow line will be between 2,000 and 2,500 meters above sea level. Only occasionally, the clouds may break briefly during the day, for example on the eastern edge of the Alps or in the extreme southeast. The southern side of the Alps is also somewhat favored by the weather. The wind will blow briskly to strongly from the west, only in the south there will be little wind. Early temperatures will reach minus two to plus nine degrees, depending on the wind, and daytime highs will range from six to 15 degrees.
The weather on December 31
In the east, on Friday, in the morning and in the morning, some disturbances and rain showers will pass through. Otherwise, it will be dry and mostly sunny. In the afternoon, dry and increasingly sunny weather will finally prevail in Lower Austria, Vienna and northern Burgenland. The wind will blow moderately to briskly from the west, with early temperatures between minus one and plus eleven degrees and daytime highs between eight and 15 degrees.
