Sunday Brings Weather Change - Enjoy the Sun Beforehand

The next significant weather disturbance is expected this Sunday, warned Geosphere Austria on Thursday. Accordingly, plans should be made to enjoy mostly sunshine and pleasant temperatures on Friday and Saturday morning.

Friday and Saturday: Sun, then Clouds and First Showers

A high-pressure area ensures a lot of sunshine from early to late in most parts of the country on Friday. After some early fog patches, it is generally cloudless in the morning. Around midday, an extensive cloud cover from an approaching warm front becomes noticeable in Vorarlberg. This extends to Tyrol by the evening. However, it remains dry. The wind blows mostly weak to moderate, in the east also briskly from northern directions. Early temperatures minus four to plus four degrees, daytime highs nine to 16.

On Saturday, a warm front moves over Austria from the west. As a result, dense clouds pass eastward during the day, and occasional rain showers may occur in the mountainous regions. Before and after the cloudy phases, the sun often shines almost undisturbed. By the evening, the following cold front from the west gradually announces itself. In the evening hours, the first rain showers may already occur in Vorarlberg. The wind blows weak to moderate from south to west. Early temperatures minus three to plus nine degrees, daytime highs twelve to 20 degrees, with the highest values in the west.

Sunday Starts Rainy

During the morning hours of Sunday, dense clouds from a cold front persist from East Tyrol to the Weinviertel, and it rains in many places. Further north and west, the precipitation decreases, and the sun appears at times. In the afternoon, the dense clouds along with rain showers move away, and the sun appears everywhere. The snow line is between 1,400 and 2,000 meters above sea level. The wind blows brisk to strong from the west in the north, otherwise mostly only weak to moderate. Early temperatures one to eight degrees, daytime highs 13 to 16.

Outlook: Changeable, Then Sunny Again

Monday remains quite cloudy and unstable, especially along and north of the main Alpine ridge, with some rain showers, especially in the mountainous and hilly areas. In the far south and southeast, it is largely dry, and the sun appears here repeatedly. The wind blows moderately to briskly from west to north, especially in the northern, eastern Alpine foreland and along the main Alpine ridge. Early temperatures 0 to eight degrees, daytime highs eleven to 16.

On Tuesday, high pressure from the west increasingly gains influence. In the eastern half, especially in the mountainous regions, it may still be somewhat unstable in the morning with denser clouds and occasional light rain showers, above 1,700 meters also sleet showers. In the far west, however, it is friendly from the start and often even radiantly sunny. The wind blows moderately at the eastern edge of the Alps, in exposed areas sometimes briskly, from west to northwest. Elsewhere, it usually blows only weakly from the same directions. Early temperatures four to twelve degrees, daytime highs 16 to 22 degrees, with the high values in Tyrol and Vorarlberg.
