From Friday on Saturday the bad weather sets in. Dense clouds are hanging over the whole country on Holy Saturday, but unlike Friday, it should remain dry in the northern half of Upper Austria. Residual showers are to be expected, especially in the Salzkammergut and in the Pyhrn-Eisenwurzen region. The snow line drops to 800 meters in the southern highlands. It’s noticeably cooler, with highs between nine and 14 degrees.
But on the night of the Easter Sunday the sky above Upper Austria clears up in the cold air. “In the Mühlviertel, frost is possible on Sunday morning,” says Resch. The first holiday will be cold (maximum ten to 15 degrees), but mostly sunny and dry. It will be similar easter monday. Rain is only in sight again on Tuesday.
