Austria is in for another summery weekend with temperatures of up to 30 degrees, after which a disturbance front will bring some cooling and rain showers starting Monday.
After an early summer weekend with temperatures of up to 30 degrees, the weather will change on Monday. As the experts from Geosphere Austria forecast on Thursday, a disturbance front will bring cooler days and precipitation across almost all of Austria.
However, high air pressure will continue dominating the Alpine region’s weather today, Friday. This means the sun will shine from an almost cloudless sky in most parts of the country until the evening. Patches of early morning fog will usually clear quickly, and a few spring clouds will form over the Alpine peaks by midday. Generally, a few thin veils of clouds in higher layers will not disturb the sunny weather character. The wind will blow weakly to moderately from west to north. It will be three to eleven degrees in the morning, with daytime highs of 17 to 25 degrees, with the warmest temperatures in the west and south.
30-degree mark broken in April: New heat record in Bruck an der Mur
Yesterday was the earliest hot day with at least 30 degrees in a calendar year in Austria’s measurement history.
High air pressure will continue to dominate the weather on Saturday. The sun will continue to shine almost undisturbed from morning to evening. Only thin patches of cloud in higher layers will adorn the sky. The wind will be light to moderate from the west to the northwest in many places, but it may freshen up in the Danube region and the mountains of Lower Austria. Early temperatures will range from four to 14 degrees, with daytime highs of 20 to 28 degrees.
The experts are also expecting a very sunny and warm Sunday. Thin, high cloud fields will again pass through, and a few spring clouds will form over the main Alpine ridge in the afternoon, but the risk of showers will remain low. The wind will blow moderately to briskly from the west in the Danube region, but moderate south-westerly winds will also prevail elsewhere. Early temperatures will be between six and 13 degrees, with daytime highs of 22 to 30 degrees.
30 degrees in April? Unusual, but nothing new
Austria’s earliest hot day, 30 degrees in a calendar year, is possible in the coming days. A look at the past shows that temperatures above 30 degrees in April have happened quite often.
Disturbance zone brings rain showers and cooling at the start of the week.
On Monday, the pre-summer weather will be over. A disturbance zone crossed the country from the north-west. The first rain showers set in along the northern side of the Alps in the morning and spread to large parts of Austria over the course of the day. Heavy downpours and the odd thunderstorm will develop, especially at midday. The extreme south and south-east will remain weather-favoured for longer with prolonged sunshine. The wind will freshen briskly and strongly from the west. Early temperatures: eight to 13 degrees, daily highs: 17 to 25 degrees.
Unsettled weather is also forecast for Austria on Tuesday. Precipitation is expected from the Lake Neusiedl region to Lower Carinthia. In general, there will be little sunshine, with the sun most likely appearing in the country’s north. There will also be a brisk wind from the west, especially in the northern lowlands and hills. Early temperatures will reach six to eleven degrees, with daytime highs of only nine to 18 degrees.
