New Week Brings High Temperatures and Thunderstorm Risk

The probability of thunderstorms is already present today, Monday, and then increases significantly in the afternoon. In the morning, mostly sunny weather can be expected except in the west.

High temperatures up to 36 degrees until midweek

With the approach of a disturbance zone from the west, this will change: Initially in the west and north as well as in the mountainous regions, from late afternoon and evening, thunderstorm activity is also expected in the east and south. Moderate to brisk west wind will freshen up, and storm gusts are also expected in thunderstorms. After early temperatures between eight to 20 degrees, there will be 27 to 36 degrees during the day, with the highest values in the east.

On Tuesday, thanks to westerly currents, the sunny weather character will prevail in many regions. Local rain showers may occur in the mountainous regions on the northern side of the Alps, but in the south and southeast, the tendency for partly thundery precipitation increases in the afternoon. The wind blows weak to moderate, and depending on the strength, morning temperatures of 14 to 21 degrees are expected, with highs between 26 to 32 degrees.

High pressure influence will make Wednesday mostly sunny except for a few veil clouds. Along and south of the main Alpine ridge, mostly flat cumulus clouds will form in the afternoon, but the tendency for thunderstorms remains low, and the wind continues to blow weak to moderate. Early temperatures between 13 to 19 degrees will be replaced by very hot 28 to 35 degrees.

Weak cold front from the west on Thursday

With the approach of a weak cold front from the west, Thursday will be significantly more unstable than recently. In western Austria, there will be rain showers and thunderstorms early in the morning, and this thunderstorm activity will reach the previously sunny eastern lowlands in the afternoon. The wind blows moderately, in the northern Alpine foothills and in the east also briskly from the west. Early temperatures vary depending on the wind between 13 to 22 degrees and rise to 26 to 34 degrees.

Once again, there will be unstable weather on Friday, caused by low air pressure and a significant northwesterly flow. Along the main Alpine ridge and north of it, rain showers will be quite frequent during the day, while in the south and southeast, partly strong thunderstorms will occur - there will be sunny phases in between. With rising air pressure, the tendency for thunderstorms and showers will decrease again in the evening. Strong west wind blows at the eastern edge of the Alps and in the Vienna Woods region, and after early temperatures between eleven and 20 degrees, "only" 23 to just under 30 degrees are expected, with the higher values in the far east.
