Weekend Brings Unsettled Weather

After the cold front moves away on Friday, Austria is in for a windy and changeable weather phase. The maximum temperatures in the coming five days will range between 14 and 16 degrees Celsius. Regional rain showers are always possible, as indicated by the Geosphere forecast from Thursday.

After the significant precipitation area moves eastward by Friday morning, some sunny intervals are possible, especially in the south, far east, and inner alpine regions. However, more clouds, some of them dense, will follow from the northwest. As a result, further rain showers and snow showers down to 1,200 meters are expected, especially north of the Alps. The wind will blow mainly from the north and in the mountains strongly from the west until the evening. After early temperatures between two to ten degrees, maximum values of nine to 16 degrees are expected.

Weather on the Weekend

There will be some sunny hours in the south on Saturday, but the likelihood of showers will increase somewhat in the afternoon. In the rest of Austria, especially along the northern side of the Alps and in the north, and then also in the east from the afternoon, a few rain showers, occasionally sleet showers, will occur. The snow line will fluctuate between around 1,200 and 1,600 meters above sea level, and after early values of minus two to plus eight, the maximum values of nine to 15 degrees will be reached.

A westerly flow will provide a mostly sunny start to Sunday away from the northern side of the Alps. However, cloud fields will already move in during the morning, followed by a mix of sun and clouds. In addition, rain showers are expected, especially north of the main Alpine ridge. Snow will mix in from an altitude of 1,100 to 1,600 meters. The wind from the west to north will pick up during the day. The early values between minus two to plus seven degrees will rise to seven to 14 degrees during the day.

Weather at the Start of the Week

Especially in the eastern half, as well as in the south, there will be occasional sunshine on Monday before partly dense cloud fields mix in during the day and can cause rain north of the main Alpine ridge. The snow line is between 900 and 1,400 meters above sea level and will gradually rise slightly. The wind will blow lively to strong from the west north of the Alps, while in the south it will be weak to moderate. The early values are again between minus two to plus seven degrees, with maximum values between six and 14 degrees.

Tuesday will start in many parts of the country with residual cloud fields and resulting precipitation before the sun can prevail. The outlook is sunnier from the start south of the main Alpine ridge. The snow line is between 1,000 and 1,500 meters above sea level. The wind will blow lively to strong from the west and will remain weak only in the south. After early values between minus two to plus eight degrees, seven to 14 degrees will be reached during the day.
