The forecast for Sunday is intense: Up to a sizzling 32 degrees is expected. This no longer just feels like spring warmth, it's officially swimming weather alert!

The temperature hammer hits especially on Sunday. The whole weekend will be summery warm, perfect for first outdoor adventures or just being outside. But Sunday is the day when the 30-degree mark will be easily surpassed and the thermometer can climb up to 32 degrees. Be prepared!

What you need to do now

What does this mean for you? Clearly: It's high time to activate summer mode. Pack your swimwear, check if the nearest outdoor pool is already open, or plan a relaxing day at Neufelder See (or wherever your favorite swimming spot is).

A visit to one of the many Viennese parks under shady trees is also a great idea. Ice cream parlors will become hotspots (literally!), and every shady spot will be worth its weight in gold. Above all, remember to drink plenty and perhaps avoid the blazing midday sun or at least protect yourself well.

The city prepares

Not only should you be prepared, but the city is also gearing up for the upcoming heatwave. Cooling measures such as drinking fountains or water features are particularly important at such temperatures and are being checked. So, take advantage of the cooling offers!

Get ready for a hot weekend finale. Enjoy the sun, but stay cool and take care of yourselves!
