Vienna is heading into yet another pre‑holiday weekend wrapped in thick fog. According to the latest forecast, the city won’t be shaking off its grey blanket anytime soon. Expect single‑digit temperatures and, with a bit of luck, perhaps a warm cup of punch at a Christmas market to brighten the mood.
It’s a dreary December in the capital. And no, the grey isn’t coming from artificial snow on Christmas trees — it’s the weather right outside the door. Fog has become a constant companion for people making their way through the city each day. But could the weather at least show some mercy for the third Advent weekend, when most people finally have time off?
Short answer: absolutely not. If that’s all you needed to hear, feel free to crawl back under the blanket and wait for Christmas Eve. But for anyone planning to head outdoors — especially to the Christmas markets — here’s the detailed outlook.
Gloomy Prospects
The dense ground fog will already settle over the city on Friday night. In the dark, it may be less noticeable, but drizzle is expected as well. With barely any wind, temperatures will hover around 1°C.
Saturday starts just as grey as the night before, with early‑morning temperatures around 2°C. The fog remains stubborn, and the drizzle continues. Only in the higher parts of the Vienna Woods might the sun break through briefly in the afternoon. The day’s high will reach about 5°C, and the wind will at least stay weak.
More Fog on Sunday
Sunday brings no change. Fog and low stratus clouds will linger throughout the entire day, accompanied by a light to moderate breeze. Morning temperatures will be around 3°C and won’t climb past 6°C.
