In the coming days, we are facing a weather turnaround: after wintry prospects in the northern Alps on Friday, calmer late autumn weather will follow at the weekend. Temperatures will remain below 10 degrees throughout Austria.
In the coming days, the weather will take a big step towards winter in parts of Austria—and then turn around again. In the northern Alps, it will be quite wintry in parts from Salzburg eastwards on Friday, forecasts Geosphere Austria. At the weekend, however, calm late-autumn weather will return everywhere.
Sun vs. rain: Austria split in two on Friday
In the west and south, an area of high pressure will ensure dry and very sunny weather on Friday. In the rest of the country, it will be very cloudy with widespread rain, at least occasionally. It will rain and snow most of the day in the eastern mountains. The snow line will be between 500 and 700 meters above sea level. The wind will blow moderately to briskly in the north and east and weakly from west to north in the other regions. Early temperatures will be between minus five degrees on clear days in the west and plus five degrees in the east. Daytime highs will reach three to nine degrees.
Temperatures remain below 10 degrees at the weekend
Residual clouds from the disturbance will persist in places in the east and north of Austria on Saturday. Otherwise, it will often be sunny all day under the influence of high pressure. The wind will blow weakly to moderately from north to east. Early temperatures will be between minus eight and plus three degrees, with daytime highs between two and nine degrees.
Besides fog or high fog over the lowlands and medium-high cloud fields in the country’s southeast, Sunday will be mainly sunny. The wind will be mostly light to moderate, preferably easterly to southerly, with early morning temperatures of minus seven to plus one and daytime highs of mostly two to eight degrees.
Sunny start to the new week in many places
At the beginning of the week, we can also expect thick patches of fog and high fog in some areas, especially over the Waldviertel and Weinviertel regions, the greater Vienna area, and southeast Austria. Otherwise, sunny weather will initially prevail on Monday. In the course of the afternoon, more and more clouds in higher layers will cover the sky in the west and northwest. The wind field close to the ground will be weak throughout. Early temperatures will be minus six to plus three degrees, with daily highs of around two to eleven degrees, depending on the amount of sunshine.
The influence of disturbances from the west will cause increasing cloudiness and precipitation during the course of the day on Tuesday, at least regionally. Initially, there will also be some fog and high fog patches. There will only be occasional clearing, and it is likely to remain cloudy all day in many places. During the day, the snow line will mostly be between 1,000 and 1,400 meters above sea level before dropping below 1,000 meters in places towards the evening. Early temperatures will mostly be around minus five to plus four degrees, with daytime highs of two to eight degrees.
