A first advance of autumn – this is how Alexander Ohms of ZAMG describes the weather in the next two weeks. But before it gets cool again, it will be warm again until Wednesday, like late summer. The week starts with lots of sunshine and maximum temperatures of up to 24 degrees Celsius. On Tuesday and Wednesday it will be a bit warmer with up to 25 degrees, but these days are no longer completely cloudless. Despite possible cloud fields, it will remain mostly friendly and warm.
Autumn is knocking
Thursday will be changeable, with isolated rain showers possible during the night. During the day there is still a chance of sun, in the afternoon and evening thunderstorms are possible. The next cold front arrives from the north, bringing cold air to Austria. Friday will be rainy in the mountains, Ohms is forecasting a few showers and a cold north-west wind in the lowlands.
The low point will be reached at the weekend. It will be unstable, especially at the edge of the Alps it will rain again and again, the snow line drops to 1500 meters. The maximum temperatures on Saturday are 15 degrees. Too cool for this time of year – this is how Ohms describes the weather conditions. “That’s not so great for the heating costs, nobody wants that this year,” says the meteorologist.
The coming week will also be cool, but the weather will be friendlier again. The nights stay cool – the Mühlviertel is not far away from frost at night. “From the end of September, a stable high-pressure weather situation usually sets in – it will certainly not remain so cold and damp.” In the so-called Indian summer, the sun brings pleasant afternoons with around 20 degrees Celsius.
