It was four degrees too cold for the time of year in the first ten days of August. “Those were temperatures like in October. That was quite unusual for the beginning of August. But we’re slowly catching up,” says Alexander Ohms, meteorologist at GeoSphere Austria. It will remain hot in Upper Austria into the coming week, and the probability of thunderstorms is decreasing from day to day. The weather today will be similar to yesterday’s holiday: slightly unsettled, with thicker clouds, sun and thunderstorms. “It will be the coolest day of the week with 27 to 30 degrees, with the 30-degree mark rarely being cracked,” says Ohms.
On Thursday the thermometer climbs up to 31 degrees, on Friday it can be 32 degrees. The chance of thunderstorms at the weekend is low. The GeoSphere meteorologist says in an interview with OÖN that there could only be one or two warm thunderstorms.
Stable high pressure area
Ohms expects temperatures of up to 34 degrees on Saturday and Sunday. “You can look forward to perfect and stable bathing weather,” says Ohms. The high will continue early next week, Ohms predicts. “From today’s perspective, it could still be extremely hot on Monday and Tuesday,” says Ohms. One or two tropical nights, in which the thermometer does not drop below 20 degrees, can still be expected from the weekend. These are generally rather rare in the second half of August, “since the days are noticeably shorter and summer is significantly less powerful than in midsummer,” says Ohms.
A change in the weather is not expected until the second half of next week. The highest temperatures of 35 to 40 degrees are expected in the coming days on the Balearic Islands, Sardinia or in southern France.
