Hot Weather Ahead This Weekend

Austria is expecting widespread summer high-pressure weather towards the weekend with plenty of sunshine and temperatures up to 35 degrees. However, the stable weather conditions won't last long: from Sunday, a passing cold front will cause a temporary change with showers and thunderstorms. By Tuesday, however, a friendly weather phase is expected to set in again, as Geosphere Austria predicted on Thursday.

On Friday, the current high-pressure influence continues. Warm air masses from the southwest will bring high summer temperatures, especially from Vorarlberg to Carinthia. In the lowlands, it will mostly remain cloudless, with a few harmless cumulus clouds forming over the mountains. Only in the far west are isolated short rain showers possible. The wind will blow weakly to moderately from northeast to east. Early temperatures will range between nine and 14 degrees, locally up to 18 degrees in Vorarlberg. The daily high temperatures will reach 24 to 29 degrees in the north and east, otherwise up to 34 degrees.

Weather at the Weekend

On Saturday, the high-pressure influence will also dominate with very sunny and mostly cloudless weather. Only in the west and south will some cumulus clouds form over the mountains in the afternoon, with isolated small showers or heat thunderstorms possible. The wind will blow weakly to moderately from eastern directions. In the morning, temperatures will range between six and 13 degrees in the east, otherwise between 14 and 19 degrees. The daily high temperatures will reach up to 35 degrees in the west and south, otherwise 24 to 29 degrees.

Sunday will start off widely sunny, but as the day progresses, more cumulus clouds will appear. Especially along and north of the main Alpine ridge - from Vorarlberg to the Mostviertel - the likelihood of showers and thunderstorms will increase significantly from midday. In the eastern half, it is expected to remain dry. The wind will blow weakly from variable directions, becoming strong during thunderstorms. Early temperatures will range between ten and 19 degrees, with highs between 25 and 32 degrees.

Weather in the New Week

On Monday, a cold front will bring changeable weather. Strong thunderstorms are still possible, especially in the southeast. In the north and east, there will be occasional showery rain, and in the central and southern regions, it will also be more prolonged. By the afternoon, it will already start to clear up in the west. Early temperatures will range from twelve to 20 degrees, with daily highs of 18 to 27 degrees - also lower in the disturbance zone.

On Tuesday, the weather will stabilize with rising air pressure. Last showers are still possible along the northern Alps, otherwise, sunshine will prevail again. The wind will blow briskly from west to northwest, especially at the eastern edge of the Alps. Early temperatures will range between eleven and 17 degrees, with daily highs of 20 to 27 degrees.
