Varied Weather on the Way

In the coming week, the weather will be varied. While a warm front from the west brings dense clouds and precipitation, the sun will shine in the south. In the west, clouds and light rain dominate, while the east often remains sunny. This mix will dominate the weather trend until next Tuesday, reported Geosphere Austria on Thursday in their current forecast.

On Friday, isolated fog patches, especially in the lowlands of Upper and Lower Austria as well as in some basin areas in the south, can be locally persistent. Apart from that, mostly undisturbed sunny weather prevails. The wind generally blows weakly. Early temperatures range between minus twelve and minus one degree, and in some snow-covered valleys in the west, it can cool down even more. The daily high temperatures reach only around minus one degree in locally persistent fog, otherwise plus one to plus five degrees.

Weather at the Weekend

On Saturday, a shallow warm front moves in from the west. Thus, from Vorarlberg through Salzburg to the Waldviertel, dense clouds with precipitation prevail already in the morning. The snow line is at 1,300 to 1,600 meters above sea level, and below that, there is a risk of freezing rain and associated ice formation. Further in the southeast and south, apart from persistent fog patches, sunshine prevails until the afternoon. Then dense clouds also move in here. However, little to no rain is expected here. The wind blows weakly to moderately from the west. Early temperatures range between minus ten and minus two degrees, and the daily high temperatures range between one and seven degrees, with the higher values in the far west.

On Sunday, clouds already dominate in the west of the country in the morning, and the sun rarely shows there. Additionally, light rain and snowfall arrive in the afternoon. The snow line is around 1,000 to 1,300 meters above sea level. In the other parts of the country, apart from local fog patches in the far north and the Danube area, it is initially very sunny. Clouds spread from the west and gradually displace the sunshine. Only in the east does it remain largely cloudless until the evening. The wind usually blows weakly from different directions. Early temperatures range between minus eight and plus one degree, and the daily high temperatures reach one to eight degrees.

Weather at the Start of the Week

On Monday, the day in Carinthia and parts of Styria is slightly to moderately cloudy. Otherwise, the new week begins, especially north of the main Alpine ridge, with partly dense cloud fields. Along the northern side of the Alps, but also in Upper Austria, light rain falls, and above 800 to 1,000 meters above sea level, snow falls. Otherwise, it remains largely dry. In the far west and far east, the clouds clear in the afternoon, and the sun appears, while it remains overcast in between. Early temperatures minus six to plus two degrees, daily high temperatures one to six degrees.

Tuesday starts in the basins and depressions, in parts of the northern lowlands, as well as in some inner-Alpine valleys with fog and high fog. These prove to be persistent regionally, and it remains overcast all day there. Otherwise, after the fog clears, a friendly weather character prevails. However, the sunshine is not unclouded, as some high and also mid-level cloud fields pass over the sky. The wind usually blows weakly, in Tyrol and Vorarlberg, moderate south foehn occurs. Early temperatures minus six to plus one degree, the daily high temperatures fluctuate between two to nine degrees.
