Austria expects a heat wave with highs up to 35 degrees
The number of days with at least 30 degrees (heat days) in June has doubled to quadrupled in the past decades at low altitudes in Austria, according to a ZAMG analysis. In the provincial capitals, for example, there were one to two heat days on an average from June 1961 to 1990. From 1991 to 2020, there were already between two (Bregenz) and five (Innsbruck) heat days here. The records are all from the recent past. Innsbruck leads the way with 17 heat days in June 2019.
