Wind, rain, and cooler air on Thursday
On Thursday, “Kirk” will bring rain, fresh winds, and cooler air to Austria from the west. In the eastern half of the country, it will initially still be warm and sunny at times, but towards the afternoon, the clouds will thicken here, too, and it will get wet. Most rain will be concentrated in Vorarlberg, the Tyrolean lowlands, East Tyrol, Salzburg, and Carinthia. By the afternoon, the rain will also reach Styria and Burgenland.

Danger of flooding and mudslides
The heavy rain may lead to local flooding and mudslides. Stormy winds from the northwest to southwest are also expected. Temperatures will drop between 17 and 9 degrees in western federal states like Vorarlberg, Tyrol, and Upper Austria. However, it will remain somewhat warmer in the east and southeast with 18 to 24-degree temperatures. At an altitude of 2000 meters, the temperature will drop to 2 to 9 degrees Celsius, with the snow line falling below 2000 meters in the west.
